In response to Re: faucet rplacement cost
: I recently bought a new bathroom (wide spread)faucet and initially began removing my old faucet. I gave up after I removed both hot and cold fixtures but was unable to remove the main spout. I hired a plumber who charged me $440.96 to finish the replacement. Did I get ripped off? Is that the going rate? He spent just under two hours to complete the job. Any response is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Reply: Were you charged labor and material (less the faucet) or was it a flat rate price? I charge by the hour plus material used, valves, supply lines, etc. My bill wouldn't have been that much although I have heard of some city shops that do charge close to that or more for the same job. It really depends on locality. e-plumber
