What it isFaucet replacement is mostly about fit: the number of holes in the sink or countertop, the spacing between them, and the type of supply connections. A good installation also replaces old shutoff valves and supply lines while the cabinet is already emptied.
When you need faucet installation
- Remodels and upgrades
- Faucets with no available parts
- Corroded or leaking faucet bodies
How it works
- Check hole count and spacing
- Shut off and remove the old faucet
- Replace shutoffs and supply lines if old
- Install the new faucet and connect
- Flush lines and test
Limits and when it’s not the right fix
- Corroded mounting nuts on old faucets can take time to remove.
- Changing the number of holes may require a new sink or deck plate.
What affects the cost
We don’t publish national price figures because real quotes vary too much by region, access and the condition of your system. These are the factors that move the price:
- Faucet type
- Valve replacement
- Removal difficulty
- Accessories (sprayer, soap dispenser, filtered tap)
Ask for a written quote that names the method, materials and any permit or restoration work before work begins.
Faucet Installation: common questions
How do I know which faucet will fit my sink?
Count the mounting holes and measure the spacing. Common bathroom spacings are 4 inch centerset and 8 inch widespread; kitchen sinks often have one to four holes.
Should shutoff valves be replaced with a new faucet?
If they are old multi-turn valves or show corrosion, replacing them during faucet installation is sensible because they often fail when first operated after years.
