What do you need done?
What to have ready before the visit
Five checks, and the first one settles whether this is a handyman job at all.
- Whether the supply lines and drain stay exactly where they are — if they move, this is a plumber
- Whether you have the new tap or sink already, or want it bought for you
- The number of tap holes in the counter or sink, and the spacing between them
- Where the shutoff valves are under the sink, and whether they still turn
- For a condo: whether the building needs the riser shut off, and who books that
The line is whether anything moves
The useful question is not what the fixture is, it is whether the pipework changes. A tap coming off and a new one going onto the same supply lines is a fixture swap. A sink dropping into the opening the old one came out of, with the trap reconnected underneath, is a fixture swap. Once the supply has to be extended, the drain has to be re-cut, or the main has to be shut and opened, it is licensed plumbing and it belongs on a different page. The reason this matters on price is that the licensed job costs more for good reasons, and paying licensed rates for a tap swap is the most common way to overpay in this category.

Kitchen sinks are heavier work than vanities
A bathroom vanity sink is usually light, accessible and held by a clip or a bead of sealant. A kitchen sink is a different job: undermount units are clamped to the underside of the counter and bedded in sealant that has to be cut out, the bowl is heavy enough to want a second pair of hands, and a waste disposal unit or a filtered tap adds connections that were not in the original. If your kitchen sink is undermount rather than top-mount, say so when you post — it is the single detail that most changes the time and therefore the offer.
