Are you licensed and insured in California?

Yes. We hold a CSLB C-36 Plumbing Contractor license and carry full general liability and workers compensation insurance. Our license number is on every truck, invoice and page of this site.

What is your service area?

Our home base is 1010 W 19th St in National City. From there we cover the South Bay (Chula Vista, Bonita, Imperial Beach, Coronado), the City of San Diego, East County (Lemon Grove, Spring Valley, La Mesa, El Cajon, Santee, Lakeside and the backcountry CDPs) and South Riverside County (Menifee, Lake Elsinore, Perris, Hemet and the Pass corridor).

Do you charge for estimates?

Estimates for planned work — repipes, sewer replacements, water heater swaps, remodels — are always free and written on the spot. Diagnostic visits for a specific active problem carry a flat trip charge that is waived if you approve the repair.

How much does a typical repair cost?

Every job is quoted flat-rate before we start. Small residential repairs — a leaky angle stop, a broken flapper, a garbage disposal swap — typically fall in the $150–$450 range. Bigger jobs (drain jetting, water heater replacement, sewer trenchless liner, whole-house repipe) are quoted individually so you know the total before we open a wall.

Call us if you notice…

A dripping faucet you cannot silence

A toilet that rocks, runs, or clogs weekly

A garbage disposal that hums but does not turn, or leaks from the bottom

A shower valve that will not stay at a set temperature

A brand-new fixture you bought online with instructions you can not decode

A remodel that needs professional rough-in and finish

How the job goes

Shutoff test first

Half the time we open the cabinet and the angle stop under the sink is seized. Before we quote the fixture swap we test the stops. If they don't turn we replace them — trying to force a 40-year-old stop is how you flood a kitchen.

Install with new supply lines

Every fixture install gets new braided stainless supply lines and, where needed, a new wax ring, angle stops or shower cartridge. No reuse of failed parts.

Test under real conditions

We run the fixture, check every joint under pressure, cycle valves, and confirm drain flow before we leave.

Cleanup, disposal, warranty

Old fixture hauled away, packaging out, workspace wiped down. Manufacturer warranty registered where applicable.

The fixture install nobody warns you about

You bought a faucet at the home store. The box says "installs in 30 minutes." Then you open the cabinet.

The angle stop is corroded shut. The old supply nut is welded to the faucet body. The countertop is thicker than the new faucet's threaded shank. The cabinet floor has a soft spot from an old leak you did not know existed. Half a Saturday later, the sink is still not connected and the store is closed.

We do this work every day. What takes a first-timer four hours takes us forty minutes. We show up with new angle stops, new supply lines, new wax rings, new disposal splash guards — the parts you would have to make a second trip for.

Fixtures we install and repair constantly

Faucets: kitchen, bathroom, laundry, utility. Standard and pull-down, touchless, pot fillers. If it hooks to water, we install it.

Toilets: standard, comfort height, low-flow, dual-flush, wall-hung, bidet seats. Old cast-iron flange rebuilds included where the closet flange has rusted through.

Garbage disposals: InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen. 1/3 to 3/4 HP. Batch feed, continuous feed, air-switch models.

Shower valves and trim: pressure balance, thermostatic, custom trim kits. Behind-wall replacement through a small access panel where practical.

Tub and shower conversions: removing an unused tub for a walk-in shower is a common request in aging-in-place National City homes. We handle the plumbing side; tile and enclosure via partners.

Angle stops and supply lines: the humble angle stop under every fixture. Old multi-turn stops that will not close are the leading cause of unnecessary emergency calls — quarter-turn ball valve replacements are cheap insurance.

Utility sink installs: laundry rooms, garages, workshops.

Ice maker lines and water dispensers: proper saddle-valve avoidance, real angle stops behind the fridge.

Supply your own fixture, or let us

Either works. If you supply, bring us the box before you buy something with proprietary rough-in requirements that won't fit your walls. If we supply, we source from the same wholesalers the industry uses — often at prices comparable to retail — and every product carries the standard manufacturer warranty.

Remodels — rough-in through finish

Kitchen and bath remodels: rough-in plumbing during frame stage, then return for finish install after countertops. We coordinate directly with your GC or homeowner-general.

Our shop is at 1010 W 19th St, three minutes from I-5 and five minutes from National City Blvd. Fixture install and repair calls are typically same-day service across the South Bay. Call (831) 290-4327 and a live dispatcher will confirm a real ETA before you hang up — no call center runaround, no "we'll get back to you."

What affects the price

We do not post fake "starting at" prices. Every job is quoted flat-rate on-site. Here is what moves the number up or down:

Whether you supply the fixture or we do

Angle stop or shutoff replacement (common on older homes)

Shower valve behind-wall access (may require an access panel)

Tile / stone counter cutout for a new sink

Toilet flange condition on cast-iron drains

Why South Bay Pro Plumbing for fixtures

Fixtures is one of the core reasons customers call our shop — not a side service we occasionally take.
