I almost never work on lavvy or kitchen faucets, 99 percent I replace with new if they are having issues.

With faucets like this one, it's usually not a mechanical problem. It's a missing part or worn plating.

I can repair or replace, it’s the customers choice. Some faucets are worth repairing, some are not.

You don’t service them? You hooked me up in 2016 and I still appreciate your help with it. Thank you again.

Rohl faucet

A customer has this Rohl kitchen faucet with a pull out spray hose that keeps breaking and flooding under his sink. Rohl sent a replacement hose about 3 months ago, I installed it and it just failed again. Seems to me there's a design flaw, the hose doesn't swivel and winds itself up under the...

I can't imagine selling something so expensive to a customer and not servicing it. Reminds me of all the 'Water Conditioning Specialists" who charge someone thousands of dollars and then are never heard from again when the customer needs it fixed a couple years later.

I get it, you're a new construction company. I just couldn't do the same. I assume you will come repair/replace something within a warranty period?

That faucet is likely 800$ to 1200$ and is most definitely worth fixing. Most higher end two handle faucets use almost identical ceramic stems and almost always common size orings.

How often do you fix faucets?

I have customers that call me and say “ Bring me a faucet that won’t break the bank “

So I take a $200 Delta and it have a lifetime warranty through Delta.

After a few years of it develops a drip, I would be embarrassed to try and sell them a new faucet.

So of course I repair it.

Some faucets are part of a matching collection in the bath. It’s a hard sell to replace 3-4 other faucets because one is dripping and can be repaired.

I give advice. My advice isn’t always “ replace it “. The more faucets you work on the more experience you get and hopefully the better you become. I like to be more than an installer, I’m a mechanic.

You get the idea.

Let me clarify. Generally, after warranty, we don't service. I try to link up the HOs with a colleague.
