Faucet & Fixture Repair and Replacement

A dripping faucet isn't just annoying — it's money draining down the drain. A faucet that drips once per second wastes more than 3,000 gallons of water per year. Zenco Plumbing handles faucet and fixture repairs throughout Northern Michigan, from a quick cartridge swap to a full fixture upgrade during a kitchen or bath remodel.

Common Faucet Problems We Fix

• Dripping or leaking faucets (kitchen, bathroom, tub/shower)
• Loose or wobbly handles
• Low flow or inconsistent water pressure at a fixture
• Mineral buildup clogging aerators and spray heads
• Faucets that won't shut off completely
• Under-sink shutoff valves that are seized or leaking

Repair vs. Replace: What Makes Sense

Most dripping faucets can be repaired by replacing a worn cartridge, O-ring, or ceramic disc — usually a quick fix that costs far less than a new faucet. However, if your fixture is corroded, outdated, or you're remodeling and want something fresh, replacement often makes more sense. We'll give you an honest assessment either way.

When customers choose replacement, we can work with fixtures you've already purchased or source quality options ourselves. We install all major brands and handle everything from disconnecting the old fixture to making sure the new one is leak-free and properly sealed.

Bathroom & Kitchen Fixture Work

Fixture work covers more than just faucets. We install and replace:

• Kitchen faucets and sprayers
• Bathroom vanity faucets
• Shower and tub trim kits (valves, diverters, handles)
• Utility and laundry room faucets
• Pot fillers
• Bar sink faucets

Hard Water and Northern Michigan Fixtures

Well water in Antrim, Kalkaska, and surrounding counties is often high in iron and calcium. Over time, this mineral-rich water is hard on fixtures — it corrodes valve seats, clogs aerators, and stains chrome finishes. If you're seeing orange staining or struggling with clogged fixture heads, it might be worth considering a water softener or iron filtration system alongside the fixture work. We can assess what's going on and make recommendations.
