Replacing a kitchen sink typically takes 2 to 4 hours from start to finish. Drop-in stainless steel or composite sinks are on the shorter end. Undermount sinks, sinks paired with new countertops, or installations with new faucets, garbage disposals, and supply lines extend the timeline.

Typical install timing

  • Drop-in stainless sink — 2 hours
  • Undermount sink — 3–4 hours
  • Sink + new faucet — adds 30 min
  • Sink + faucet + disposal — adds 90 min
  • Sink + new supply lines and shutoffs — adds 30 min
