Cost Estimate for Faucet Replacement

Faucet Replacement for Kitchen or Bath

In almost every instance, the homeowner has chosen the new faucet and has it on hand.   Labor rates for the replacement will vary depending on the type of faucet and whether or not it fits, and the conditions under the sink (easy access, lack of rust in the plumbing).

Most faucet replacements can be done by a handyman and don't require the journeyman plumber.  However, because you're dealing with water, you should always  double check for leaks within the first 24-48 hours.

Low estimate for labor to replace a single faucet:
  • Labor 1 hour
High estimate for labor to replace a single faucet:
  • Labor 1.5 hours

We too would charge a minimum of $50.00 to replace a kitchen or bath faucet. This also takes into account that it is an in and out job. No special instances such as outdated fixtures that require replumbing.

I charge $35 per hr, it is low for my area but I try to work a lot. I also charge for travel time to the house, so I would have to say $50.00 for the job.

I charge $50 dollars for the first hour and $40 an hour after that. I don`t offer a flat rate on faucets because there are too many variables and issues that can come up.
