Kitchen Sink and Faucet: The Two Measurements That Decide Everything

Swapping a sink and faucet is the highest-impact afternoon of work in most kitchens — and the only one where a 2-inch error writes off the countertop, not just the part. Undermount or drop-in, and how many holes your counter already has, decide what you are allowed to buy long before taste does.

Three ways to spend the money

These are different units, on purpose. We don't convert them into one number — which shape fits you is the whole decision.

Buy the fixtures

$340–$560

One-time · for both pieces together

Genuinely a weekend job — as long as you measured the cutout and the hole count first.

Hire itFiverr

Hire a designer

$100–$800

Per room

Worth it when the layout changes. Not worth it when only the fixtures do.

Bottom line

If you are replacing like for like, measure the cutout and the hole spacing and skip the designer entirely. Bring one in only when the sink is moving position — that is a plumbing decision, and plumbing decisions are where the expensive mistakes live.
