You're a hard man BJ 
If you can manage to get the old taps off (which can be a pain) cut back the supply pipes and fit an isolater and flexi hose on each. Then fit to your new taps and hope you don't get a leak.

I replaced mine yesterday, took me half an hour.

If you have any plumbing experience its fairly straightforward.
Turn off the water, disconnect the tap connectors and take off the holding nuts with a basin spanner. Fit taps and screw up connections. Job done.
Old taps can be a nightmare to get off as is leaks if the connector is not lined up with the tap. Use flexis for easy install and isolators should be fitted also.
If you are not confident, pay a plumber as you could be there all day.
