Installing a new faucet sounds simple, but it involves several factors that influence the final price: the type of faucet, the state of the plumbing, the need to replace internal parts and even the location where the installation will take place. Knowing the approximate cost helps you plan your budget and avoid surprises.
In this comprehensive guide we explain the average prices in Lisbon, what is included in the service, the factors that can increase or reduce the price and when it is worth calling in a professional. For a safe, efficient and headache-free installation, the Lisbon plumber company is the best solution for installing any type of tap with guaranteed quality.
Average prices for installing a new tap
The figures below are estimates based on typical plumber work in homes and apartments. In Lisbon, prices may be slightly higher depending on the area and time of day.
| Type of installation | Approximate price range |
|---|---|
| Single tap installation (kitchen or washbasin) | 80€ - 130€ |
| Single lever mixer installation | 100€ - 150€ |
| Installation of taps with special fittings or difficult access | 120€ - 180€ |
| Installation of faucet with rewiring (new adapters, hoses, etc.) | 150€ - 250€ |
These figures include labor and basic parts such as adapters, seals and hoses, but do not include the cost of the faucet itself (which varies according to model and brand).
Factors that influence price
The final cost of installing a new faucet can be influenced by the following aspects:
1. type of tap
Simple taps are cheaper to install than mixer models or those with specific systems (sensor, wall tap, etc.).
2. Condition of existing pipes
If there is corrosion, damaged pipes or worn joints, it may be necessary to make additional repairs before installing the new tap.
3. Site accessibility
Installing a tap under a sink with plenty of space is quicker than working in cramped or hard-to-reach spaces.
4. Need for adapters and additional parts
Some models require specific adapters, flexes or other accessories that are not included with the standard tap.
5. Urgency of the service
Calls outside normal hours (evenings, weekends and public holidays) may incur additional charges.
Tips for choosing the right faucet
Before installing, it's worth considering a few points:
- Choose a model suitable for your use (kitchen, bathroom, washbasin)
- Choose faucets with aerators or low consumption to reduce water waste
- Check compatibility with existing space and connections
- Consider a quality guarantee and recognized brand
To find out more about water efficiency and responsible consumption, you can consult the ERSAR (Water and Waste Services Regulatory Authority), which provides useful information on efficient water management in the home.
When should you call a professional?
Although some people try to install faucets themselves, a professional guarantees it:
- Correct installation without leaks
- Checking pressure and alignment
- Use of suitable, quality parts
- Avoiding damage to existing pipes
- Guaranteed long-lasting work
If the installation involves welding, cutting pipes, altering branches or replacing internal parts, it is always recommended to call in an experienced plumber.
