Faucet replacement cost in the US.
Kitchen or bath faucet swapped on existing supply lines, usually under an hour of work once the cabinet is cleared. The fixture is roughly half the money.
The same wrench costs different money in different places, because the hand holding it does. Pick your city for the local band, the upsells and the script.
- 01Shut both supply valves under the sink and open the faucet to drop the pressure.
- 02Clear the cabinet and put a towel down — the drip is now, the flood is later.
- 03Photograph the underside of the sink deck. Access is what prices this job.
DIY for most people with a basin wrench and a clear cabinet. Pro if the old nuts are seized or the supply valves weep.
- A water filtration or softener system pitched during a faucet call.
- Replacing both supply valves as mandatory when they are sound.
- A trip fee stacked on top of an hourly minimum for a 40-minute job.
Touchless, pot-filler and premium finishes reach $900 installed. That is fixture cost, not plumbing.
