I was shocked when I got an estimate from a top rated local plumber: $425 to install a single bathroom faucet. wtf. $700+ to replace a sink and faucet, labor only.
So I said fk no, I'll do it myself. So I watched youtube videos. Working out great so far, replaced 2 of 5 so far, no leaks
Lessons learned:
- don't fk with small corroded taps undersink, shut off main water instead.
- if you do fk with small taps, use WD40
- always use Teflon plumbers tape to wrap threads
- universal snappy kits are great for replacement j pipes etc
Replacing sinks and faucets is a great way to improve the look of your bathroom.
Next up, kitchen sink. Check out new faucets on Amazon, they're amazingly modern and cool looking, vs old fashioned ones.
