DIY vs. Call a Pro
Most faucet repairs involve replacing a cartridge or O-rings — turn off water supply, disassemble the handle, swap the part, and reassemble. New faucet installation is straightforward if your sink has matching mounting holes.
Call a professional when:
Call a plumber if the supply valves under the sink are corroded or stuck, if you need to modify the sink countertop, or if copper/PEX connections are needed.
