My bathroom has an old sink that needs to be replaced. At the same time, the faucet and related items would be replaced. If I hired a handy man what would be the estimated cost to me for removing the old and putting in a new sink with all the related items including labor and parts?What would be the estimated cost if a plumber did the job?The new sink would not be anything fancy, just a standarized sink that would be used in a condominium.Thanks
There are a lot of variable to this question. First, labor rates are very dependent on where you live (city/state). Is it a pedestal sink or one with a vanity cabinet? If it is a vanity, is it a drop in or under mount sink? There is also the question of size. There really is no standard, as sinks are made different sizes to fit in different spaces. A pedestal sink will generally cost a little more in both labor and for the sink itself. I would love to give you an idea of cost, but with so little information, I'd hate to give you bad information. Your best bet would be to call around to a couple local plumbing shops and have them come out and give you an estimate. A lot will do this at no cost to you, and should be able to bring out some catalogs of different sink and faucet styles for you to look and and decide what you'd like. This will also give them a chance to look and see if there are any additional obstacles that would change the cost of the job (shut off valves that don't work, and other piping issues). FYI, the shop I work for has a rate of $160/hr for labor. In your local area this may be different, and will affect the cost. Plumbing rates across the country fluctuate A LOT. Call around for rates.
Depending On How Much Remodel You Are Planning On Doing, Entire Bathroom All Fixtures Replaced (Sink, Toilet, Tub, Shower, Accessories, Flooring, Etc.) Done By Yourself & Handyman, $2,000-$3,000 & $4,000-$5,500 If Done By A Contractor. (Keep In Mind If You Use A Licensed Contractor Your Project Will Be Covered A Warranty, Otherwise You Assume Full Responsibility) If You Are Merely Replacing A Sink, Faucet, & Vanity, Including Some Minor Plumbing Work, Yourself & Handyman, $450-$650 & $650-$1,000 If Done By A Contractor. Again The Cost Of The Fixtures & Accessories You Choose Can Effect The Cost Majorly. Gods Speed.......................Best Of Luck !
