Fixtures, Pipes, and Everyday Fixes

Plumbing Repair Services for the Small Problems That Add Up

Most plumbing calls start small: a drip, a running toilet, a disposal that quits. Texas Born Plumbing handles every general plumbing repair with the same care we bring to bigger jobs, and our licensed plumbers (Texas License M45910) give you the price before we pick up a wrench.

North Texas homes are hard on fixtures. Our hard water leaves scale in cartridges, aerators, and fill valves, while clay soil shifts with the seasons and stresses supply lines and drain connections. Older homes in neighborhoods like Arlington Heights and Ryan Place often still run galvanized steel or early copper lines nearing the end of their life.

As a local plumbing company, we keep this page focused on fixture-level repair work. For bigger problems, see leak detection and repair for hidden leaks, drain cleaning for stubborn clogs, water heater services for tank units, and emergency plumbing for active flooding. You can see everything we offer on our plumbing services page.

What We Fix

Faucet, Toilet, and Pipe Repairs From a Licensed Plumber

Each repair below is priced up front, and most can be handled in a single visit.

Faucet Repair and Replacement

We rebuild kitchen, bath, and laundry faucets by replacing worn cartridges, O-rings, and seals, and we clear mineral-clogged aerators that cut your water pressure. If the faucet body is corroded or parts are no longer made, we'll show you replacement options in your price range and install the one you choose.

Toilet Repair That Stops the Running and Rocking

A toilet that runs, leaks at the base, or rocks on the floor usually needs a new flapper, fill valve, wax ring, or closet bolts. We fix the actual cause, check the supply line and shutoff valve while we're there, and make sure the toilet sits level so the seal holds.

Sink and Garbage Disposal Repair

We repair leaking sink drains, loose P-traps, failed basket strainers, and worn supply lines under kitchen and bathroom sinks. For garbage disposals, we clear jams, reset tripped motors, and fix leaks at the mounting flange. If the unit is rusted through, we'll quote a replacement.

Shower and Fixture Repair

Low pressure at the showerhead, a valve that won't hold temperature, or a tub spout that drips are common in older North Texas homes. We replace shower cartridges and trim kits and handle fixture upgrades such as new showerheads, handles, and modern valves that fit your existing walls.

Pipe Repair for Visible Leaks and Worn Fittings

Pinhole leaks under a sink, a sweating joint in the garage, or a cracked line to an outdoor spigot can all be repaired cleanly. We handle plumbing leak repair on visible supply lines and drain fittings, replace damaged sections with modern PEX or copper, and swap out seized shutoff valves, so you can turn the water off when it counts.

Plumbing Inspection and Routine Maintenance

A plumbing inspection is a good idea before buying a home, after a hard freeze, or when your house turns twenty. We check fixtures, shutoffs, supply lines, water pressure, and visible piping, then give you a plain-English list of what needs attention now and what can wait. Regular plumbing maintenance catches small problems early, when they are still cheap to fix.

Repair Questions

General Plumbing Repair FAQs

General Plumbing Repair FAQs
How do I know if a fixture needs plumbing repair or full replacement?

If parts are still available and the body isn't cracked or corroded, repair is usually the better value. We'll show you what we find and give you both prices when replacement makes sense. The choice is yours, and we never push an upgrade you don't need.

Can you handle several small repairs in one visit?

Yes, and it often saves you money. Make a list of everything that has been bugging you, such as the slow faucet, the loose toilet, and the drip under the bathroom sink, and we'll price each one up front so you can decide what to tackle.

Is a running toilet really worth calling a plumber for?

A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a day and quietly raise your water bill. Sometimes it's a simple flapper. Often it's a worn fill valve or a cracked overflow tube that a homeowner fix won't solve. We'll find the real cause so the problem doesn't come back next month.

What does a residential plumbing inspection include?

We look at every accessible fixture, shutoff valve, and supply line, test water pressure, check for signs of slow leaks, and note the age and type of your piping. You get a written summary with honest priorities, not a sales pitch.

When are you available for plumbing repair?

Our regular hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm. Saturday and Sunday appointments are available by request. If you need urgent plumbing repair because water is actively spreading across your floor, visit our emergency plumbing page and call us right away.
