A pull-out faucet in a bathroom sink makes it more useful than a two-handle faucet because it’s designed for many uses. Some of today’s bathroom sinks can be used for bathing a small infant, washing a kid’s hair, and even scrubbing dirty sneakers.

If the bathroom sink in your house gets a workout, consider replacing the existing faucet with the convenience of a pull-out sink faucet. The pull-out faucet originally designed for a kitchen sink makes all washing chores much easier and enjoyable in a bathroom. Its flexible pull-out spray spout extends up to 24 inches, making scrubbing away dried soap, shaving cream and toothpaste build-up much easier.

To remove an old bathroom sink faucet and replace it with a pull-out faucet a plumber will charge $285, which includes labor and material. Most of these faucets are available in a variety of finishes such as polished chrome or satin nickel. If you have plumbing experience and tools, you can make the swap for $160, the cost of the faucet, and save 44%. The faucet is pre-assembled, so it’s designed for easy installation. For tools, you’ll need a screwdriver, an adjustable wrench and channel lock pliers.
