Kitchen Sink Installation Cost Guide
The kitchen sink alone is its own buyer query, priced apart from the project around it: one basin, split first by mount and then by material. HomeGuide 2026 data prices a kitchen unit at $150 to $750 before installation, with drop-in, undermount, and farmhouse mounts opening at very different lines. Angi 2026 reporting prices a new sink at $50 to $1,000 alone. This guide prices the basin frame by frame.

Pricing by mount, inside the HomeGuide frame
| Mount | Sink price | Total cost installed |
|---|---|---|
| Drop-in / self-rimming | $60-$750 | $260-$1,250 |
| Undermount | $150-$1,000 | $350-$1,500 |
| Farmhouse / apron | $200-$3,500 | $500-$5,000 |
| Kitchen sink, all mounts | $150-$750 | $380-$1,400 |
Mount is the first split the HomeGuide frame prints, and this guide keeps the columns apart: a sink price is a unit line, and a total installed figure is a different line that already carries labor and removal inside the same frame. The drop-in row opens lowest in both columns. The undermount row prices the basin that seats beneath the counter surface. The farmhouse or apron row runs widest and highest, and the same frame notes that a farmhouse project can carry counter and cabinet lines a standard mount never names. The whole project, basin and connection and add-on lines together, prices on the kitchen sink installation cost hub.
Pricing by material, inside the same HomeGuide frame
| Material | Kitchen sink price, unit only |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel | $60-$750 |
| Acrylic | $150-$700 |
| Composite | $175-$750 |
| Copper | $150-$800 |
| Porcelain, ceramic | $150-$650 |
| Solid surface | $150-$900 |
| Fireclay | $250-$750 |
| Enameled cast iron | $250-$900 |
| Natural stone | $250-$1,100 |
Material is the second split, and every figure in this table is a unit price with no installation inside it. Stainless steel opens the table at the same $60 floor as the drop-in mount row, while the stone and enameled rows open at $250. Read a material band against the mount table above, never merged into it: a quote in this frame names one mount row and one material row, and the installed column belongs to the mount table alone. The counter the basin seats in or under prices apart on the kitchen countertop cost guide when that surface itself is replaced.
The Angi frame, named separate and never blended
Angi prices the sink alone on its own lines, and this guide keeps them apart from every HomeGuide figure above. In the Angi frame, a new sink without labor runs $50 to $1,000, and the kitchen-sink location line averages about $400. The same frame reports that farmhouse models command a premium over standard drop-in models, a direction that agrees with the mount table without sharing its numbers. Professional installation in the Angi frame runs $216 to $663, a labor-side band that is never added to a HomeGuide unit price here to build a blended total. A sink quote should name its frame per line: unit, mount, and installation each read inside one frame at a time.
Reading a sink-alone quote, as reported lines only
Published reporting sorts a basin quote by which lines it carries, and this guide repeats that sorting as reported lines only. A unit line names a mount and a material. An installed line names the frame whose total it follows. The lines around the basin, the faucet, the disposal, the pipe lines, and old-sink removal, price apart on the kitchen sink add-ons cost guide, and the fixture above the basin prices standalone on the kitchen faucet installation cost hub. No band here says which mount or material any specific kitchen should carry; that call belongs to the quotes a homeowner collects, read against the frames named here.
