Faucet work ranges from replacing a worn cartridge, washer, or O-ring on a dripping faucet to installing a brand new one. Standard installs on a like-for-like faucet are the most affordable labor, while widespread or wall-mount faucets take more time and cost more because of the extra plumbing involved. If the shut-off valves or supply lines underneath are old or corroded, adding those in is common, especially in older San Diego homes where original valves have worn out. The fixture itself, not just labor, is often the biggest swing in total cost.

Faucet Repair & Install Cost FAQ
For repairs, cost depends on the part that's failed and how the faucet is designed to come apart. For installs, the fixture cost and whether it's a standard, widespread, or wall-mount setup drive most of the price, plus any supply line or shut-off valve work needed underneath. Call (858) 400-4417 and the licensed plumbers we connect you with can give you a real number for your fixture.
Old shut-off valves and supply lines can corrode or seize over years of hard water exposure, and swapping in a new faucet is the easiest time to replace them. Reusing a failing valve just means another service call later, so most plumbers recommend replacing them together.
Yes. A widespread faucet has separate hot, cold, and spout pieces that all need to be connected under the sink, which takes more time than a single-body standard faucet. Wall-mount faucets add even more labor since they tie into supply lines inside the wall instead of through the countertop.
