What Affects the Price
• Faucet type, a wall-mounted faucet is cheaper than a deck faucet, and a retractable faucet is the priciest. • Kitchen vs. bathroom, usually only a small price difference between locations. • Labor-only vs. labor+part, a significant difference in the total price. • Condition of existing plumbing, old or corroded pipes can extend the job time.
Labor-Only or Labor + Part? the #1 Point of Confusion
Prices advertised online usually cover labor only, not the faucet itself. Before agreeing on a price, explicitly confirm whether the quote includes purchasing the faucet or just the installation. Ambiguity on this point is the main reason for gaps between different quotes.
Before Replacing: Consider a Leak Repair
Not every leaking faucet needs to be replaced. A leak repair (for example, replacing a washer or valve seat) is significantly cheaper than a full replacement, and a professional plumber should offer it as the first option before recommending a replacement. If you're offered a full replacement without a repair option being checked, ask explicitly why.
Checklist Before Booking
☐ Explicitly confirm whether the price covers labor only or the faucet as well. ☐ Ask whether a leak repair option was checked before recommending a full replacement. ☐ Clarify the faucet type needed (wall/deck/retractable), it's the main price driver. ☐ Get a final written price before work begins. ☐ Check reviews and recommendations before booking.
