Faucet replacement cost in Seattle.
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.
Do these before you call anyone. All three are free and all three change what the job costs.
- 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.
