I'm renting a 1-bedroom flat built around 2012, and my landlord agreed I can upgrade the kitchen sink and tap at my own expense. The current setup is pretty old. I'm worried about plumbing costs—should I budget €300, €500, or more? Any tips on what to watch out for?
✓ Accepted answer
A sink and tap replacement in a modern apartment typically runs €400–€750 all-in (2026). The sink itself costs €80–€200, the tap €100–€300, and labour €150–€300 depending on whether the plumber needs to adjust pipework or deal with unexpected damage. If your current plumbing is from 2012, it's usually straightforward. Key cost drivers: single vs double bowl, tap quality, and whether your water connection needs updating to NEN 1010 standard. As a tenant, confirm in writing with your landlord who pays and whether they want the old sink removed.
