How long does it take to replace a faucet?
Fixr says most plumbers can replace a kitchen faucet in under an hour. Moving the faucet to a new spot takes about 2 to 4 hours, and moving it to a kitchen island takes roughly 3 to 6 hours. Source
Can you replace a faucet without replacing the sink?
Moen's guide assumes you keep the sink. On a sink with three holes, the faucet goes through the center hole with a deck plate and gasket, and a single-hole sink needs no deck plate. Check your sink's holes before you buy. Source
