Determining whether it is better to replace an entire faucet or just the internal cartridge depends primarily on the nature of the plumbing issue and the age of the fixture. If your faucet is leaking from the spout, dripping, or experiencing handle stiffness, replacing the internal cartridge is almost always the best, most cost-effective choice that restores factory-new performance in minutes. However, if the faucet body itself is cracked, severely corroded, leaking from the deck base, or outdated in style, replacing the entire fixture is the more practical solution.
