The most common outcome: typical scope, mid-grade materials, a little prep or adjustment along the way.
Extensive
$165 – $190+
Larger scope, premium materials, difficult access, or repairs needed before the main work can start.
Typical time on site

Labor vs. materials
Roughly 65% labor and 35% materials for this type of work.
What drives the cost of faucet repair/replacement
Repair vs. full replacement
A cartridge, aerator or O-ring rebuild costs far less than pulling the faucet and setting a new one.
Shut-off valves and supply lines
Old angle stops that won't close have to be replaced first, which adds parts and time before the faucet work starts.
Faucet style and holes
Single-hole, widespread and wall-mount faucets differ in install time, and a new faucet has to match the holes in the sink or deck.
Local labor rates
Rates vary market to market. Your quote reflects what the pro in your ZIP actually charges — not a national guess.

Small job — know the risk
It looks simple on paper, but shut-off valves that won't close, live circuits, and damage hidden behind the wall are what turn a 30-minute job into a much bigger repair bill. At this price point a pro visit is usually cheap enough that most homeowners just book it and move on.
Most homeowners in this range end up hiring out: the price is fixed before work starts, and the pro who does the job stands behind it.
