How much for replacing a monobloc tap in kitchen sink?

Assuming I shall buy the tap and pipes separately, what will be reasonable quote for fitting it?
Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.

    You could buy the tool and do it yourself for about £3
  • Up to £50, no more.

    If the hot and cold feeds have isolation valves, the £50 - £60 is about right. However, if there are no feeds, and the hot is off a cylinder, the system may need draining and then refilling. This would take longer so maybe £80

    The worst one I had to do was £120. Had to dismantle half the sink cupboard to gain access to the underside of the taps as the old ones had leaked and corroded the retaining nut in its place.

    Usually it would be £60 plus parts.
