The parts counter

Walk in with the problem. Walk out with the fix.

Ours is a real counter, not a kiosk. Describe the problem or bring the old part, and someone who knows plumbing hardware will see you through it.

We have
it all.

How a counter visit works

Three steps, and none of them is a website

Call or walk in

No appointment needed for the counter. One reviewer describes the exact fault being diagnosed over the phone; another brought the part straight in.

Show us the part or the problem

The old part tells us most of it. Reviewers describe handles identified on sight and obscure shower valves matched from stock.

Fix it yourself, or we'll do it

Take the part and the know-how home with you. Rather not? The same shop is a full plumbing and heating contractor.

What the shelves hold

The stock the big boxes stopped carrying

Reviews tell it plainly: one contractor writes that the shop stocks plumbing and heating parts his large-scale wholesalers don't carry, and a homeowner describes shower handles identified on sight, in stock, for a thirty-dollar fix other plumbers priced at thirteen hundred.

  • Fixtures and faucets for kitchen and bath
  • Fittings, valves, and supply parts

  • Repair parts for older setups

A store showroom with all major brands and hard-to-find parts & supplies.

From the company's own listing

Before you drive over

Two habits that make the trip worth it

Bring the old part when you can

The failed part tells most of the story. One reviewer brought in a part from a high-end outdoor shower: the counter diagnosed it, special-ordered a piece overnight, and three of them worked together at the counter to free an over-torqued nut when she came back.

Or call first, if you like

One reviewer had the exact water heater fault diagnosed over the phone. It's worth a call before you drive over. Do call for hours: we're a small shop.

Rather have us do the work?

The counter and the service shop are the same door. If you'd rather not DIY, the plumber is one call away.
