Thinking about updating your bathroom’s decor by replacing that old bathroom faucet with a new one? With the many different styles that are available you have a lot to choose from. Today’s faucets can not only add a dramatic change to the entire look of your bathroom but they are made to save on water without you noticing any decrease in pressure. Another advantage is that these faucets allow to to install them yourself.
One of the biggest cost to adding simple fixtures like a faucet is the labor to have a plumber do the installation. In some cases that can be even higher than the price of the faucet itself. So before you decide to hire a plumber and you don’t mind applying a little elbow grease that you should try to figure out if you can actually do the job yourself.
The installation of a single handle faucet by a plumber can cost as much as $100 more than the fixture itself. With that type of money can could buy a new faucet and sink as well
The Do-It-Yourself trend has lead many faucet manufactures to make their products a lot more easy for the non-plumber to install, but still the telling fact as to how hard the task to replace the sink will be how hard it’s going to be to access the plumbing. Replacing an old faucet together with the sink makes the job a breeze to do. That because you can do most of the work standing up instead of always lying down looking up from the bottom of the cabinet. So since you will be saving yourself about $100 for the cost of labor, it may be wise to invest a little bit of the difference in replacing that old sink as well. Your back will thank you.
Installing a new faucet is the type of home improvement that you can get a lot of personal satisfaction in doing yourself as well a save a few dollars on by not hiring the labor
