Shut off the water supply to the area where the new plumbing fixtures will be serviced. The turn off valve for sinks should be underneath the sinks in the cabinets.
The toilet shut off valve should be in back if the toilet and the shower and tub shut off valve should be in the basement or behind the wall in an access door. Remove the old faucet by loosening the setscrew that is holding the handle. The handle will easily slip off after using a wrench to loosen the setscrew. Then loosen the chrome dome and remove.
Underneath the sink, loosen the connection to the hot and cold water pipes. If it is a kitchen faucet with a hose, loosen the nuts holding the hose to the faucet. Then loosen the bigger nut holding the faucet to the drainpipe. The faucet should easily pull out from the top.
