What moves the price
- Scope of the kitchen plumbing — a tap swap is quick, while moving the sink needs new supply and waste runs
- Appliances — dishwashers, washing machines and fridge water feeds each need connections
- Waste runs — a long or awkward waste route to the drain takes longer to fit
- Access — cramped base units and old fittings slow the plumber down
- Boiling-water and filter taps — these need extra fittings and sometimes electrics
- Region — kitchen plumbing in London and the South East costs more

How to pay less
- Keep the sink near its existing position so kitchen plumbing uses the current waste run
- Book kitchen plumbing for appliances and the sink in one visit rather than several
- Buy taps and fittings with the right connections so the plumber does not need adaptors
Before you book
- You can ask how the kitchen plumbing will meet the water fittings regulations, including check valves for appliances
- Gas hobs and cookers in the kitchen need a Gas Safe engineer rather than a plumber to connect them
- Ask whether the kitchen plumbing quote covers isolation valves, wastes and testing
- Have the units and worktop fitted before the plumber returns for second fix
Kitchen Plumbing cost: questions people ask
£100–£750 per job, about £275 typical for a new sink and taps. A tap swap costs least; moving a sink to a new position costs the most.
About two to four hours, including waste, taps and testing. Fitting a new sink into a worktop that still needs cutting takes longer.
Only if they are also Gas Safe registered. Gas connections must be made by a Gas Safe engineer.
Yes, but waste and supply pipes must run under the floor to the island, which adds cost and may need a pump if the fall is poor.
Units, worktop cutting, appliance electrics and tiling are separate. Ask if appliance hoses are included.
