What moves the price
- Complexity of the installation — fitting a tap where the old pipes do not line up needs new connectors and more time under the sink.
- Type of taps or mixers chosen — a thermostatic or pull-out mixer has more parts to connect than a basic pillar tap.
- Any additional plumbing work required — adding isolation valves or new flexible hoses brings extra parts and time to the tap installation.
- Complexity of the job — swapping a like-for-like tap is quicker than fitting a mixer where none was before.
- Number of taps — each tap or mixer is fitted and tested separately, though doing several on the same visit spreads the call-out.
Services for the maintenance and repair of the dwelling prices in Ireland are up 23% over five years (CSO Consumer Price Index, Services for the maintenance and repair of the dwelling, to 2025 December). Five years ago a typical tap & mixer installation would have cost about €115 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: CSO CPM18, CPM12 →

How to pay less
- Swapping a tap like for like on the existing pipes costs less than fitting a mixer where there was none before.
- Having several taps or mixers replaced on the same visit costs less than booking a plumber for each tap separately.
- Supplying your own taps can lower the cost; check the connections with the plumber before you buy so they fit your sink.
- Clearing out the cupboard under the sink before the plumber arrives saves time on the tap or mixer installation.
- A worn cartridge or seal can often be replaced for less than a new mixer; you can ask whether a repair would do.
Before you book

- Details on the type of tap or mixer you wish to install.
- Any specific design or functionality preferences you may have.
- Information about water pressure or existing plumbing issues, if applicable.
