A toilet that runs all night, a faucet that drips no matter how tight you turn it, or a garbage disposal that hums but won't spin all add up to daily annoyances that a homeowner shouldn't have to live with. Snipps Heating & Air Conditioning repairs and replaces toilets, sinks, faucets, tubs, and garbage disposals across Montrose and the Western Slope. Whether it's a single worn-out fixture or a full bathroom refresh, our team matches the right part or fixture to your home and gets it done without a mess left behind.

A fixture issue that seems minor can waste water, damage a cabinet, or just wear on your patience every single day. These are the ones we hear about most:
often a worn flapper or fill valve, though a wobbly or cracked base points to a bigger fix.
usually a worn cartridge or valve seat that a fresh washer alone won't solve.
a jam is sometimes an easy clear, but a leaking unit is nearing the end of its life.
often mineral buildup inside the fixture itself rather than a whole-house issue.
sometimes a candidate for repair, sometimes better off replaced outright.
If you're stuck deciding whether it's a quick fix or worth replacing, that's exactly the kind of call we're happy to make with you.

Not every worn fixture needs to come out, and not every leak is worth chasing with another patch job. This is the order we go through on a fixture call:
A running toilet, a stubborn faucet, and a jammed disposal all have different root causes, and we start by figuring out which one you've got.
If a part swap solves it cleanly, we say so. If the fixture is old enough that a repair is just delaying the same call later, we tell you that too.
Older homes sometimes need fittings that don't match what's on the shelf at a big-box store, so we make sure what goes in actually fits.
Countertops, tile, and cabinetry all take a hit from careless work, and we treat your home like we'd want ours treated.
Water pressure, drainage, and a check for hidden leaks all happen before we pack up.

That's almost always a worn flapper or fill valve failing to seal properly, which lets water keep trickling into the bowl. It's usually a quick, inexpensive fix, though a toilet that also rocks at the base can point to a bigger issue worth checking.

A worn cartridge or valve seat is often a straightforward repair on a faucet that's otherwise in good shape. If the faucet is old, corroded, or you're already updating the space, replacement usually makes more sense than repairing something you're about to phase out anyway.

That usually means the motor is jammed, often by something that shouldn't have gone down the drain. Sometimes it's a simple reset, and sometimes the motor itself has burned out and needs a new unit.

In most cases, yes. Older homes sometimes have fittings or rough-in dimensions that don't match modern standard fixtures, and we account for that before we order parts so you're not stuck with something that doesn't fit.


Simple things like a toilet flapper are reasonable to attempt yourself. Anything involving a disposal's electrical connection, a fixture tied into an older or nonstandard supply line, or a leak you can't clearly locate is worth having a professional look at before it causes water damage.

A single toilet, faucet, or disposal swap is usually a same-day job. A full tub replacement or a fixture that needs supply line or venting work can take longer, and we'll walk you through the timeline before we start.
