What does kitchen faucet replacement typically cost in New Brunswick?

Kitchen faucet replacement in New Brunswick typically runs $200-$800 total, with most homeowners spending around $400-$500 for a mid-range installation by a licensed plumber.

The faucet itself makes up the bulk of your cost. Basic single-handle models start around $80-$150, while quality mid-range faucets with pull-out sprayers run $200-$400. High-end options with touchless activation or commercial-style designs can reach $600-$800. Popular brands like Moen, Delta, and Kohler are readily available through suppliers across Moncton, Saint John, and Fredericton.

Professional installation by a licensed plumber adds $150-$250 to your project. This includes disconnecting the old faucet, installing the new unit, connecting supply lines, and testing for leaks. In New Brunswick, any plumbing work that involves supply or drain connections requires a licensed plumber (licensed through NB's Technical Inspection Services) and a plumbing permit from TIS.

Several factors can push costs higher. If your existing supply lines are corroded or incompatible, expect an additional $100-$200 for new connections. Homes built before 1980 often have galvanized supply lines that may need updating. Granite or quartz countertops require extra care during installation, potentially adding $50-$100 to labor costs. If you're switching from a single-hole to three-hole configuration (or vice versa), countertop modifications can add $200-$500.

Rural areas of New Brunswick may see slightly higher costs due to travel time, especially in northern regions around Miramichi, Bathurst, or Edmundston where skilled tradespeople are in shorter supply.

This is typically a half-day project that most homeowners shouldn't attempt themselves. While the faucet installation might seem straightforward, New Brunswick requires licensed plumbers for supply line connections, and improper installation can lead to expensive water damage. The permit and professional installation provide peace of mind and ensure code compliance.

Start by measuring your existing faucet configuration — count the holes in your countertop and measure the spacing. This determines which replacement faucets will fit without modification.
