A faucet announces its end quietly: a drip that starts back up after you tighten the handle, a sprayer that dribbles, a base that leaves a ring of water on the counter. Most people in Columbus searching for faucet installation are replacing something that’s been failing for months, or updating a kitchen or bathroom without touching anything structural. Either way, it’s one of the smallest plumbing jobs a licensed pro handles, usually an hour, sometimes less.

Cost depends mostly on which faucet and where. Kitchen faucet labor runs $120 to $250; bathroom and tub faucets run $150 to $400 because access is tighter. The faucet itself ranges from $70 for a basic bathroom model to $600 or more for solid brass. What drives price up isn’t the fixture; it’s what the plumber finds under the sink. Seized shut-off valves, corroded supply lines, and mounting nuts rusted in place turn a one-hour job into three. Plumbers in Columbus price for the likely surprises, which is why a written estimate beats a phone quote.

Fit is the other thing to settle before buying. Count the mounting holes in your sink or countertop and measure the spacing. A single-hole faucet needs one, a kitchen three-hole setup usually sits at 8 inches, and a bathroom centerset at 4. A deck plate covers extra holes; adding holes means drilling stone or porcelain, which is not a DIY move. Plumbers in Columbus will confirm this before anything gets ordered.

Below you’ll find licensed plumbers in Columbus handling kitchen, bathroom, tub, shower, and outdoor faucet installation, plus the shut-off valve and supply line work that often comes with it. Compare licensing, reviews, and rates, and mention your hole count when you call.

How much does faucet installation cost?

Plan on $120 to $300 for labor on a standard replacement, or $250 to $600 total, including a mid-range faucet. Kitchen faucet labor runs $120 to $250; bathroom and tub faucets run $150 to $400. Plumbers charge $45 to $150 per hour and typically bill one to two hours. Prices fall inside these ranges. Costs climb if shut-off valves need replacing, supply lines are corroded, or the countertop needs new holes drilled. Old faucet removal is usually included in the labor.

How long does it take to install a faucet?

About an hour for a plumber doing a like-for-like swap, or two hours if the sink and drain are being hooked up at the same time. A first-time DIY attempt takes one to four hours, mostly because of working upside down in a cabinet. Wall-mounted and shower valve installations run much longer since the plumbing sits inside the wall. Clear everything out from under the sink before your plumber arrives it saves billable time, and most jobs bill by the hour.

Can I install a faucet myself?

Yes, if the shut-off valves under the sink still turn and the old faucet isn’t rusted solid. Modern faucets use flexible braided supply lines, so it’s mostly tightening nuts in an awkward space rather than soldering. Budget $30 to $100 in materials. Call a plumber if the valves won’t close, the supply lines are corroded steel, the connections are in-wall, or you need holes drilled in granite or porcelain. Forcing a seized valve is how small jobs become emergencies.

How do I know which faucet fits my sink?

Count the pre-drilled holes and measure the spread from the center of the outermost holes. One hole takes a single-handle faucet. Kitchen sinks with three or four holes usually sit at 8-inch centers and fit a double-handle or a single-handle model with a deck plate. Bathroom sinks are typically 4-inch centerset or 8-inch widespread. Extra holes are easy to cover; adding one means drilling the counter. Plumbers verify this measurement before anything gets ordered. Ordering the wrong configuration is the most common mistake.

When should I replace a faucet instead of repairing it?

Replace it once the faucet is 15 years or older, visibly corroded, or leaking from the body rather than the handle. Cartridges, O-rings, and washers cost $10 to $50 and fix most drips on a faucet under about 10 years old, so repair first if the fixture is otherwise sound. Weak flow, a broken sprayer, and repeated rebuilds are all replacement points. A quality faucet lasts 15 to 20 years; budget models often fail around year eight. Plumbers can tell you which applies.

Should I hire a plumber or a handyman?

A handyman charges $50 to $80 per hour versus $75 to $150 for a licensed plumber and can handle a straightforward like-for-like swap. The catch is that handymen usually aren’t licensed or insured for plumbing, so water damage from a bad connection may fall on you. Hire a licensed plumber whenever shut-off valves need replacing, pipes need modification, or you’re installing a wall-mounted faucet or shower valve. For a basic swap with working valves, either one works fine.

Does a new faucet come with a warranty?

Most major brands offer a limited lifetime warranty on the faucet body and finish for the original homeowner, with electronic and touchless components typically covered for around five years. That’s the part only labor to remove and reinstall isn’t included unless the plumber offers their own guarantee. Good installers warrant their workmanship for at least a year, so ask before booking. Keep the receipt and model number, too; manufacturers almost always require proof of purchase to honor a claim.

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.

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.
