For many San Francisco homeowners, “how much to replace a bathroom faucet” is the very first question that pops up when planning a quick bathroom refresh. The answer can feel slippery because price depends on fixture style, labor conditions, and material costs that change every week. CountBricks removes the guesswork. Our AI-driven estimating platform listens to your project goals in real time, updates material prices instantly, and delivers a transparent, line-item proposal before you hang up the phone.
Across recent CountBricks residential projects, replacing a single bathroom faucet in the Bay Area lands between $280 and $780, with most homes settling around $450. That figure includes everything from shut-off valve checks to haul-away of the old fixture. Because CountBricks updates pricing daily, your estimate will always match current supplier invoices rather than last month’s averages.
• New faucet and matching supply lines chosen from live distributor inventories

• Digital invoice and warranty documentation stored at CountBricks.com/portfolio
1. Fixture Price
The faucet itself ranges from $90 for a no-frills centerset to $420+ for designer widespread models with touchless sensors. CountBricks pulls real-time SKU pricing, so you never pay markup surprises.
2. Labor
Licensed plumbers in San Francisco average $125–$180 per hour. Our AI schedules the nearest vetted technician based on workload, shaving idle time and lowering total labor hours.
3. Materials & Supplies
• Supply lines, gaskets, and plumber’s putty: $15–$35
• Shut-off valves (if corroded): $20–$45 each
• Silicone sealant and cleaning solvents: $5–$10
• Countertop material: Stone surfaces may need a specialty spreader plate to cover existing holes.
• Pipe condition: Galvanized or old copper may require extra cutting and sweat-solder fittings.
• Accessibility: Tight vanities increase labor time compared to pedestal sinks.
• Multiple fixtures: Bundling several faucets in one visit reduces travel and setup fees.
