Need a Faucet Installed in Vancouver?
Installing a new faucet is more than connecting two supply lines. A proper install gets the quarter-turn shut-off valves, braided stainless supplies, leak-free flexible connectors, sealed mounting hardware, and pressure-tested final connections. Half the under-sink leaks we see in Vancouver kitchens trace back to rushed installs by handymen who skipped the upgrade-while-you’re-there steps.
Common Vancouver faucet install jobs:
New kitchen faucet (homeowner-supplied unit). You bought the faucet on sale or selected one with your kitchen reno designer. We install with new braided stainless supply lines, quarter-turn ball-valve angle stops (replacing the old multi-turn brass stops that often won’t fully close), test all connections, calibrate any touch or touchless sensors. $229-$349 install only.
Supply + install kitchen faucet. We bring a mid-tier Moen, Delta, or Kohler faucet from our stock – typically Moen Arbor 7594, Delta Trinsic 9159T, or Kohler Simplice K-647. $389-$649. High-end pulls (Brizo Litze, Grohe Concetto, Hansgrohe Talis, Kohler Karbon) $549-$889.
Touchless faucet install + calibration. Moen MotionSense Wave, Delta Touch2O, Kohler Sensate. We install the supply, mount the unit, wire the controller and battery pack, calibrate the IR sensor sensitivity, verify the touch-on circuit, test the magnet engagement. $389-$749.
Bathroom lavatory faucet install. Single-handle, dual-handle, widespread. Pop-up drain stopper rebuild often included since we’re under the sink anyway. $189-$389.
Multi-fixture project. Often paired with a bathroom or kitchen renovation – all new faucets, shower trim, tub spout, pop-up drains. Coordinated with your GC for the right install timing. $789-$2,489 depending on scope.
Every install includes: shut-off valve upgrade (multi-turn to quarter-turn), supply line replacement to braided stainless, mounting hardware verification, leak test at all joints, walk-through with the homeowner. Standard arrival 30-60 minutes inside Vancouver and Burnaby. Same-day booking on most installs.
Kitchen Faucets - Pull-Downs, Touchless, Pro-Style
Kitchen faucet installs are about 60% of our install work. The pull-down pros (Moen Arbor, Delta Trinsic, Kohler Simplice) install in 60-90 minutes per fixture if the supply lines and angle stops are reusable. Closer to 90-120 minutes if we’re upgrading the under-sink hardware too.
Touchless faucets (Moen MotionSense Wave, Delta Touch2O, Kohler Sensate) add a calibration step. The IR sensors need correct positioning – too close to the sink rim catches false triggers from hands washing dishes; too far doesn’t trigger reliably. We adjust sensor positioning, set the auto-shutoff timer, verify battery pack accessibility (most touchless faucets are battery-powered), test the manual override.
Pro-style and articulating faucets (Brizo Litze, Grohe Concetto Professional, Hansgrohe Talis S2 Variarc) have more parts and tighter tolerances – 90-120 minutes per fixture, sometimes requiring a deck mount conversion if the existing sink hole pattern doesn’t match the new faucet’s footprint. We bring the right escutcheons and adapters.
Side-mounted soap dispensers, filtered-water taps, and pot fillers are common upgrades during a kitchen install. We coordinate the fitting count – most kitchen sinks have 3-4 deck holes; the new layout has to fit. $189-$389 per accessory install.
For Kerrisdale and Olympic Village condo kitchens with tight under-sink cabinetry, we recommend the InSinkErator Evolution Compact disposal pairing if a new garburator is part of the project – it fits where standard units don’t.
Bathroom Faucets, Tub Spouts, Shower Valve Trim
Bathroom lavatory faucet installs run $189-$389 typically. Single-handle (most common, Moen 1225 cartridge style), dual-handle (separate hot and cold knobs, common in heritage homes), widespread (8″ spread between handle and spout, premium look). We bring the right escutcheons for whatever existing sink hole pattern you have.
Pop-up drain stopper assemblies almost always need rebuild or replacement during a bathroom faucet install – the lift rod and pivot ball have usually corroded by the time you’re upgrading the faucet. $89-$149 add-on, makes the new faucet feel like a fully fresh install.
Tub spout installation. Slip-fit or threaded mount. Diverter spout (built-in pull-up for shower) vs. plain spout. Wall-mount drop ear (the threaded fitting inside the wall) replacement if the existing fitting is corroded. $129-$229 for spout swap, $289-$449 if drop ear needs replacement (requires opening the wall).
Shower valve trim installation. The visible plate, lever, and shower head – separate from the cartridge inside the valve body. We re-trim showers regularly during bathroom updates. Same valve body, fresh trim – $189-$349 typical. See also our shower repair page for valve-body work.
Coordinated multi-fixture installs. Bathroom renovation usually means new faucet + shower trim + tub spout + toilet (see toilet repair and installation) + pop-up drain. We coordinate with your GC for the right install timing – typically after tile, before paint touch-up.

Why Vancouver Homeowners Choose Mamba for Faucet Installs
Upgrade-While-You're-There Approach
Every install includes new braided stainless supply lines and quarter-turn shut-off upgrade. Saves a future emergency call when the rubber line or old multi-turn stop fails.
Touchless Sensor Calibration
Moen MotionSense and Delta Touch2O faucets need proper sensor calibration after install. We test sensitivity, set auto-shutoff timing, verify manual override. Most installers skip this – we don’t.
Bring the Right Hardware
Different sink hole patterns, different deck thicknesses, different supply-line lengths. We bring the right escutcheons, extensions, and adapters – one trip, one install.

9 Faucet Installation Tips for Vancouver Homeowners
- Always upgrade rubber supply lines to braided stainless. $25 per fixture during the install. Rubber fails without warning. Cheapest insurance in the house.
- Swap multi-turn angle stops to quarter-turn ball valves. $45-$60 per stop. Old multi-turn often fails to close fully during emergencies. Quarter-turn is one motion to fully off.
- Mid-tier faucets justify the install cost more than budget faucets. $60 big-box faucets and $300 install = $360 total, but the faucet wears out in 5-7 years. Replace cycle isn’t economical.
- Touchless faucets need battery pack access. Confirm the under-sink space allows the battery pack to be removed and replaced. Some tight cabinetry forces an awkward install path.
- Check sink hole pattern before buying. Some new faucets have a single-hole deck. Most kitchen sinks have 3-4 holes. Use a deck plate (escutcheon) to cover unused holes, or buy a faucet that matches your sink configuration.
- Pop-up drains usually need rebuild during install. If the lavatory faucet is being replaced, the pop-up drain is usually 8+ years old and the lift rod / pivot ball has corroded. $89-$149 to rebuild during the install – better than a separate trip.
- Set water pressure to 65-70 PSI house-wide. City of Vancouver pressure runs 80-110 PSI in some areas. High pressure shortens fixture life. A PRV install pays back across all fixtures.
- Photo the new faucet model and serial number. Take a photo of the underside or instruction manual after install. Useful for warranty claims, future cartridge replacement, and resale documentation.
- Coordinate fixture install with the renovation schedule. Faucet install happens after tile and counter, before paint touch-up. Wrong timing causes scratches on new finishes. We coordinate with your GC.
