Hi.

My sink in the kitchen has started a slow leak. Something is wrong with the handle, and has trouble turning the faucet off. It's a bit wobbly and I think just needs to be replaced.

I consider myself pretty handy. I usually do most of the repairs or improvements around my house. But I am also know when I am in over my head. But I have never replaced a sink faucet, and don't really know what to expect. Would you consider this a pretty easy job? or would it be recommended to call a plumber?

THanks for all advice...

I have done it in 30 minutes, but I have also had replacements that required 4 hours. Yours will be somewhere between the two, hopefully. If you do not have the correct tools, double the time estimate.
