I’m currently looking for a plumber to replace a leaking faucet in the kitchen. As I’m sort of shopping around right now, I was curious as to what I should expect to pay.

The bill for emergency plumbing is almost always a shock. Are plumbers just taking advantage? Occasionally, but the short duration of the work contributes to the high rates. Though the plumber might spend only an hour at your home, you pay for his time (driving to and from the job, picking up parts) and more.
For a plumber specializing in drain-clearing services, expect to pay at least $70 per hour for drain lines and $125 per hour for sewer lines. Most problems can be fixed in an hour. For weekend or night calls, add $30 to the hourly rate.
For basic plumbing services, such as leak repair or installing new traps, you’ll pay $45 to $65 per hour in addition to parts, which the plumber will mark up from his wholesale price. For weekend or night calls, you’ll pay as much as $100 just for the call and $75 an hour after that. At these rates, you don’t want to spend much time chatting, but do ask what the repair/parts options are and get advice on how to prevent the problem from recurring.

About $135 cash for about 1 hour’s worth of work including the part.

A leaking faucet? Like, you turn it off all the way but a little water still comes out?
Listen, go to the library and get a book, or just do a search and you will find that it is a very easy fix. Even if you have to replace the entire faucet, if you can read and look at pictures, you can do it yourself. HONEST! You’ll save alot of money too! Unless you have alot of money and don’t mind spending it.

i would only charge 25-50 dollars
