Ask any homeowner planning a bathroom refresh and the first question is usually, “What’s the cost of faucet replacement?” It sounds simple—unscrew the old tap and fit a shiny new one. Yet, once you factor in fixture quality, supporting materials, labor rates, and regional mark-ups, the price can swing from $120 to well above $750. CountBricks’ AI-driven estimating engine captures all those variables in seconds, so you know exactly where your budget stands before the first wrench turns.
• Builder-grade faucets: $45–$90
• Mid-range designer pieces: $125–$300
• Premium smart or touchless models: $350–$600+
• Supply lines, shut-off valves, and gaskets: $12–$40
• Silicone sealant and plumber’s tape: $5–$15
• Optional under-sink water filters: $50–$180
Licensed plumbers in most U.S. metros charge between $65 and $135 per hour. CountBricks tracks real-time trade rates in our cloud database, so your estimate reflects the exact going rate for your ZIP code. A standard faucet swap averages 1–2 labor hours when no complications arise.
Old fittings, corroded shut-off valves, and rusted supply lines can demand extra labor for removal. Add another $25–$60 for proper disposal—an often overlooked line item CountBricks includes automatically.
CountBricks users in Nashville see average faucet replacement totals around $345.

Swapping a faucet yourself can save $80–$200 in labor—if all goes smoothly. Yet stripped mounting nuts, brittle supply lines, or under-sink water damage can balloon costs fast. CountBricks reports show that 37% of owner-installed faucets still require a professional call-back, often doubling the original budget. For most homeowners, working with a licensed installer coordinated through CountBricks yields the lowest lifetime cost.
• Choose a faucet that reuses existing hole spacing to avoid countertop modification.
• Buy the supply kit at the same time to reduce extra trips and labor up-charges.
• Schedule replacement alongside other small plumbing tasks to spread mobilization fees.
• Opt for brushed finishes instead of polished chrome to minimize fingerprint cleaning time later.
• Use CountBricks’ project grouping feature to bundle fixtures across multiple bathrooms for volume discounts.

When the Ramirez family planned a full master-bath upgrade in East Nashville, their biggest worry was scope creep on “small” items like faucets. They opened a voice session with CountBricks and described two sink faucets plus one roman tub filler. Within 90 seconds, the software produced an estimate that listed:
• Three mid-range brushed-nickel fixtures at supplier cost
• All supply lines, shut-off valves, and silicone
• 3.5 labor hours at the Nashville plumber rate of $82/hr
Because the project grouped multiple fixtures, our algorithm triggered a bulk-buy discount that the supplier passed directly to the client, trimming material expenses by 11%. Next, the family scheduled installation during an existing plumber visit for their shower rough-in, eliminating a separate trip charge worth another $95. Net savings: 18% versus the homeowner’s initial big-box estimate.
1. Leverage Bundling: CountBricks automatically suggests fixture bundles when you replace more than one faucet. Increased order size equals better supplier pricing.
2. Align Trades: The platform flags opportunities to stack tasks—like faucet swaps and drain repairs—under the same labor mobilization, reducing hourly minimums.
3. Trust Live Data: Static price books age fast. CountBricks refreshes supplier feeds daily, so you capitalize on flash sales and avoid surprise mark-ups.
