Faucet Installation Cost Estimate

In the U.S., Faucet installation typically costs $120–$600 total, averaging around $195–$262.

  • Touchless and bridge models cost more than single-handle or pull-down options, raising your project total.
  • Plumbers charge $45 to $150 per hour, with plumbers charging for an hour or two — old, broken, or faucets rusted in place cost more to remove.
  • Hidden water damage is rare during a faucet swap, yet it can occur — if your plumber discovers a leak, leaky faucet repair costs $200 to $330 on average, in addition to the installation.

Faucet Installation Estimate FAQs

Is kitchen or bathroom faucet installation more expensive?

They’re broadly similar — kitchen faucet replacement costs $162 to $364 on average, while bathroom faucet replacement runs $170 to $360 — the real cost driver is faucet type (touchless, bridge, pull-down) rather than which room it’s in.

Can I install a faucet myself to save money?

DIY installs are possible if it only involves removing the old faucet and installing a replacement, and Home Depot’s basic installation service starts around $92–$195 for straightforward swaps — but anything requiring new holes, wall work, or plumbing changes is best left to a licensed plumber.

Why do touchless or smart faucets cost so much more to install?

Touchless and bridge models cost more than single-handle or pull-down options, raising your project total, and smart faucets with temperature control features cost $200 to $1,200 — the added electronics and connections increase both material and labor complexity.

Do I need a permit to replace my faucet?

Usually not for a simple like-for-like swap, but your budget should include plumbing permits of $150 to $250 for a new-location installation, since moving a faucet to a different spot involves new supply lines.

What if my old faucet is rusted or stuck in place?

Old, broken, or faucets rusted in place cost more to remove, and this added labor time is one of the most common reasons a “simple” faucet swap quote comes in higher than expected.

Should I replace just the faucet, or the whole sink?

If you’re replacing the entire sink and not just the faucet, you’ll pay more — a bathroom sink installation costs $280 to $1,200, or $580 to $2,000 including the faucet, so it’s worth deciding upfront whether the sink itself also needs replacing.

What hidden costs might come up during a faucet installation?

Hidden water damage is rare during a faucet swap, yet it can occur — if your plumber discovers water damage from a leaking pipe, you’ll want to repair it immediately, and leaky faucet repair costs $200 to $330 on average on top of the installation itself.

Joel and his team went above and beyond to make sure they helped us fix the gas leak. Joel is a man of his word and came through on his promise.

Very expensive. Make sure you establish the price up front. They did some work on gas pipes, which was specialized so the prices weren't so horrible.

If its an easy fit sure they maybe great but if its something different then quoted they are going to charge you either way a hefty price.

They never called my property manager, or myself, to ask if they could do an additional estimate while at my property. I was shocked. Companies cannot go around doing estimates.
