Faucet Replacement Service
Call Now (855) 557-9600
Faucet replacement removes fixtures past their 15- to 20-year service life with no available parts, disconnects corroded supply lines and failed shut-off valves, and installs a new fixture with updated connections — ending the cycle of repeated repairs on a worn-out unit. Bonded Plumbworks’ licensed plumbers evaluate the mounting surface and hole configuration, install the new faucet and drain assembly, and pressure-test every connection before leaving.
What Is Faucet Replacement
Faucet replacement differs from faucet installation in that it always involves removing an existing fixture first. The process requires careful disconnection of supply lines and mounting hardware, often in tight under-sink spaces where corrosion and mineral buildup have seized nuts and fittings. A basin wrench and penetrating lubricant are standard tools for this work.
Replacement also presents the opportunity to upgrade shut-off valves, supply lines, and drain assemblies that may be original to the home. The International Plumbing Code (IPC) recommends replacing supply connections when changing a fixture, as flexible connectors and shut-off valves degrade over time and are a leading source of under-cabinet water damage.
When to Schedule Faucet Replacement
Replace your faucet when the valve body is corroded or cracked, the finish is peeling or permanently stained, the faucet model is discontinued and replacement parts are unavailable, or when repair costs approach 50 percent of a new faucet’s installed cost. Faucets manufactured before the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 2014 WaterSense standard may use 2.2 gallons per minute (GPM) or more — replacing them with WaterSense-certified models at 1.5 GPM saves up to 700 gallons per year per faucet.
Replacement is also warranted when remodeling changes the sink or countertop configuration, requiring a different faucet mounting style.
How It Works
Assessment and Selection
We evaluate the existing faucet condition, mounting configuration, and supply line setup. If you have not yet selected a replacement faucet, we recommend models based on your sink type, usage needs, and budget from manufacturers including Moen, Delta, Kohler, American Standard, and Grohe. Faucet Replacement inspection gives you a live view of the problem before any work starts. You review the findings and approve the quote before any repair begins.
Removal
We shut off the fixture shut-off valves, disconnect supply lines, and remove the old faucet mounting hardware. Corroded mounting nuts are carefully loosened to avoid damaging the sink deck. The mounting surface is thoroughly cleaned of old putty, silicone, and mineral deposits.
Installation
The new faucet is installed per manufacturer specifications with fresh gaskets or plumber’s putty at the mounting base. New braided stainless steel supply lines rated to 125 PSI are connected to the shut-off valves. If the existing shut-off valves are gate-type or do not hold reliably, we replace them with quarter-turn ball valves. The drain pop-up assembly is installed and adjusted.
Testing
Full pressure testing at all connection points. We run the faucet through every operating mode and verify zero leaks at supply connections, mounting base, and drain assembly.
Benefits vs Alternatives
Replacement provides a fresh start with new internal components, updated water efficiency, and restored aesthetics. A new WaterSense faucet from Moen or Delta saves water, operates smoothly, and carries a manufacturer warranty — typically limited lifetime on Moen and Delta residential models.
The alternative is continued repair of the existing faucet. This makes sense when the valve body is sound and replacement parts are available. Once parts are discontinued or the valve body shows corrosion, repair becomes an exercise in diminishing returns.
Pricing
Faucet replacement labor ranges from $200 to $450 depending on the difficulty of removal and the complexity of the new installation. Corroded mounting hardware, inaccessible shut-off valves, and non-standard configurations increase labor time. The fixture cost depends on the model selected. We provide a complete estimate including removal, installation, any necessary valve upgrades, and disposal of the old fixture.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I should repair or replace my faucet?
If the repair cost exceeds 50 percent of a new faucet’s installed price, replacement is the better investment. Faucets with corroded valve bodies, discontinued parts, or finish deterioration should be replaced. Faucets under 10 years old with available parts are usually worth repairing.
Can you replace my faucet with a different style?
Yes, provided the mounting configuration is compatible or can be adapted. Single-hole faucets can replace three-hole faucets using a deck plate. Going from a single-hole to a widespread configuration requires additional holes in the sink deck, which is possible on stainless steel and composite sinks.
How much does faucet replacement cost?
Faucet Replacement typically costs $200 to $450 for most residential jobs. The final price depends on the scope of work, materials required, and site conditions. Bonded Plumbworks provides a written estimate before starting any faucet replacement work, so you know the exact cost upfront. Call (855) 557-9600 for a same-day quote.
Do you dispose of the old faucet?
Yes. We remove the old faucet, clean the work area, and dispose of the old fixture as part of our standard replacement service.
