Faucet & Fixture Installation services

The cost of faucet & fixture installation varies by job scope, access conditions, permit requirements, and local labor rates. A verified plumber provides a written estimate covering price, scope, and timeline before any work begins — no obligation.

A standard kitchen or bathroom faucet replacement takes 30–90 minutes for a plumber. The time is consumed by shutting off supply stops, disconnecting old supply lines and drain linkage, mounting the new fixture, connecting new supply lines, and checking for leaks. If the supply stop valves are corroded in place (common in homes over 20 years old), the plumber replaces them during the same visit, adding 30–60 minutes. A pot-filler requires a new hot-water branch behind the wall — 2–4 hours separate from a faucet swap.

No, for direct like-for-like replacement at an existing rough-in location. A permit is required when the plumber creates a new rough-in — new drain, new supply branch, or new fixture location. Moving a sink from one wall to another or adding an outdoor faucet that requires a new supply run both require a permit.

Count the holes in your sink deck and measure the center-to-center spacing. Most bathroom sinks have one center hole (single-handle faucet) or three holes at 4-inch center spacing (widespread or centerset faucet). Kitchen sinks range from 1 to 4 holes. The replacement faucet must match your hole count and spacing, or unused holes must be covered with deck plates. Measure before selecting a fixture, or provide your sink model number to the plumber during the estimate call.
