How much does faucet replacement cost?
Replacing a kitchen or bathroom faucet usually takes a handyman about an hour or so. The price below includes labor and new supply lines, but not the faucet itself. Rusted nuts and tight cabinets are what usually make it run long.
Faucet replacement prices at a glance
| Job | Newer pro | Experienced pro |
|---|---|---|
| Replace 1 faucet | $90 | $190 |
| Replace 2 faucets | $160 | $335 |
| Replace 3 faucets | $235 | $480 |
Labor and basic supplies. Big parts or appliances you buy yourself are extra. Prices run higher in big cities.
What's usually included
- Water shut off at the valves under the sink
- Old faucet removed and the sink deck cleaned
- New faucet mounted and sealed
- New braided supply lines connected
- Water turned back on and checked for leaks
What changes the price
- Stuck mounting nuts. Old faucets are often corroded in place and need to be cut off.
- Shutoff valves. Valves that won't close or that leak should be replaced first.
- Number of holes. A new faucet that doesn't match the sink holes may need a deck plate.
- Pull-down sprayers and drains. Some faucets also come with a new pop-up drain to install.
Do it yourself or hire a pro?
Many people replace a faucet themselves with a basin wrench and some patience. The hard part is working on your back under the sink. If the shutoff valves are old, or you are changing the sink or the plumbing layout, a plumber is a safer bet.

Common questions
How long does a faucet replacement take?
About an hour for an easy one. Corroded parts or a tight cabinet can double that.
Should I hire a plumber or a handyman for a faucet?
A handyman can usually handle a straight swap. If valves or drain pipes need work, a plumber may be the better choice.
Do I need new supply lines?
It is a good idea. New braided lines cost a few dollars and are less likely to leak than old ones.
