To replace existing kitchen sink

sue23

Hi,
My plumber has quoted £150 for labour only for replacing our current kitchen sink with a new one. It is is a bowl and half and is part of our work top if that helps.
Does this seem a fair price ?

Having mine done next week. Currently a circular bowl. Having a 1 and 1/2 rectangular fitted. Quoted £60 for labour, I'm buying the parts.

Is it just a straight swap?

Does sound a bit pricey.

£150 for labour is steep, that's a good day rate around here.

He'll literally disconnect the taps, cut the silicone and unattached the sink from the worktop, depending on how your new sink fits he'll have to rub the old silicone off as best he can to get a good seal with the new silicone, drop the sink in, re attach new/existing taps and re seal... although you say it's part of your worktop? not sure what you mean by that unless it's an old farm style sink?

Get a few quotes is probably your best bet
