Guaranteed Bathtub Faucet Drip Repair by MDTECH

Best in Irvine, Lake Forest, Laguna Hills, and More Cities in Orange County or Los Angeles County of California

That persistent “drip, drip, drip” from your bathtub faucet is not just annoying—it’s a critical plumbing problem. A faucet dripping just once per second wastes over 3,000 gallons of water per year, leading to escalating utility bills and potential water damage to your fixtures.

MDTECH Services specializes in fast, accurate, and permanent Bathtub Faucet Drip Repair across Orange County and Los Angeles County. As licensed plumbing professionals, we eliminate the drip by identifying and replacing the specific internal components responsible for the leak.

Why Faucets Drip (And Why MDTECH is the Solution)

A drip occurs because a component designed to stop the flow of water has worn out, allowing water to pass through. The complexity lies in identifying which part needs replacement, as faucet designs vary greatly.

The Most Common Causes of a Bathtub Faucet Drip:

Faucet TypeComponent FailureMDTECH Repair Focus
Two-Handle Faucets (Compression)Worn Washers, O-Rings, or Seats. These small rubber and neoprene parts wear down from friction and mineral deposits, failing to create a watertight seal.We use specialized tools to remove the stem, replace the washer and seat, and apply plumber’s grease to ensure smooth, leak-free operation.
Single-Handle Faucets (Cartridge or Ball)Damaged Cartridge or Seals. The cartridge is a cylindrical unit that controls both flow and temperature. If cracked or worn, the faucet will leak from the spout or handle.We professionally identify and source the exact Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) cartridge required for your specific faucet brand and model, replacing it cleanly and quickly.

Why Choose a Licensed Plumber for Drip Repair?

While repairing a simple leak may fall under the California minimum threshold for licensing ($500 materials and labor), complex bathtub faucet repair often benefits from a professional touch:

  • Part Sourcing: We carry a wide inventory of cartridges, stems, and seals for all major brands (Moen, Delta, Kohler, etc.). We fix it in one visit, not three trips to the hardware store.

  • Valve Seat Integrity: If the metal valve seat (where the washer rests) is corroded, simply replacing the washer will fail. We use a specialized seat grinding tool to restore the metal surface, ensuring a lasting seal.

  • Preventing Water Damage: Mistakes during DIY repair (like overtightening) can break the valve body behind the wall, leading to a much larger, expensive leak. Our licensed plumbers guarantee the work won’t cause hidden damage.

Our Seamless Drip Repair Process

  1. Shutoff: We locate and safely shut off the water supply to the tub area.

  2. Disassembly: We carefully remove the handle, trim, and retaining nut, ensuring no cosmetic damage to your fixture or tile.

  3. Diagnosis & Replacement: We remove the internal component (cartridge or stem assembly), diagnose the point of failure, and replace the worn washers, O-rings, or the entire cartridge with the correct, high-quality replacement.

  4. Testing & Guarantee: We reassemble the faucet, restore water pressure, and test the unit thoroughly to ensure the drip is completely gone and the water temperature mixing is accurate.
