Outdoor sink installation

An outdoor sink is a practical and popular addition to an alfresco area, outdoor kitchen, garden, pool area or outdoor laundry, giving you water and a place to wash up outside without traipsing indoors. Installing one properly means running the water supply and the waste drainage to the location, connecting the tap and sink, and doing it all with fittings suited to outdoor conditions. We install outdoor sinks of all kinds, plumbing in the water and drainage and connecting everything leak-free, even where there is no existing plumbing at the spot. Whether it is for entertaining, gardening or an outdoor kitchen, we install outdoor sinks across Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, with an upfront fixed price.

Where an outdoor sink is useful

Outdoor sinks are useful in many settings:

Alfresco and entertaining areas, for washing up and food prep outside
Outdoor kitchens and BBQ areas, as part of the setup
Gardens, as a potting or utility sink for garden tasks
Pool areas, for rinsing off
Outdoor laundries and utility spaces
Workshops and sheds

Anywhere you find yourself wanting water and a sink outside, an outdoor sink is a convenient addition. We can install one wherever you need it, running the water and drainage to suit, so you have practical water access outdoors.

Running water and drainage

The main work in installing an outdoor sink is getting the water supply and the waste drainage to the location, which often means running new pipework from the nearest suitable points out to where the sink will go. We run the water supply to feed the tap, and the drainage to take the waste water away to an appropriate point, all to the standard. Where there is no existing plumbing at the spot, we extend it there. Getting the drainage right is important, the waste needs somewhere appropriate to go, not just onto the ground. We handle running both the water and the waste, so your outdoor sink has a proper supply and drains correctly.

Outdoor kitchens and alfresco areas

An outdoor sink is often part of an outdoor kitchen or alfresco entertaining area, alongside a BBQ, bench and sometimes a bar fridge, making the space genuinely functional for cooking and entertaining outside. We plumb sinks into outdoor kitchens and alfresco areas, connecting the water and drainage and fitting the tap or mixer, coordinated with the rest of your outdoor setup. Combined with an outdoor power point for appliances, an outdoor sink completes an alfresco kitchen. If you are building or upgrading an outdoor entertaining area, we can install the sink and plumbing as part of it, so you have running water right where you cook and entertain.

Garden and potting sinks

A garden or potting sink is a practical addition for keen gardeners, a dedicated outdoor sink for washing produce, cleaning tools, filling watering cans, and potting up plants, keeping the mess outside and out of your kitchen. We install garden and potting sinks, running the water supply and drainage to the garden location and connecting a suitable tap and sink built for outdoor use. Positioned near the vegetable patch, potting bench or garden tap, a potting sink makes garden tasks much easier. If you want a utility sink outside for gardening and outdoor jobs, we can plumb one in wherever suits, so you have convenient water and a sink right where you need it in the garden.

Weatherproof, outdoor-suitable fittings

An outdoor sink and its plumbing are exposed to the weather, so they need to be installed with suitable, durable fittings and connections built for outdoor conditions, rather than indoor fittings that would corrode or fail outside. We use appropriate taps, fittings and connections for outdoor use, and install the plumbing so it stands up to sun, rain and temperature. This ensures your outdoor sink and its connections last and keep working reliably, rather than deteriorating after a season or two. Getting the right outdoor-suitable fittings and a proper installation is part of why a professionally installed outdoor sink lasts, which is what we provide, so you get years of reliable use outdoors.

The tap and fittings

We install and connect the tap for your outdoor sink, whether a simple garden tap, a standard tap, or a mixer for hot and cold water if you want warm water outside, which some outdoor kitchens and entertaining areas appreciate. We connect the tap to the water supply, seal it, and test it leak-free, along with the sink’s waste and trap. If you want hot water at the outdoor sink, we can run a hot supply as well as cold. We fit the tap and fittings to suit how you will use the sink and the outdoor conditions, so you have the right water setup, whether that is cold only for a garden sink or hot and cold for an outdoor kitchen.

We supply or fit your sink

We are flexible about the sink and tap themselves. If you have chosen an outdoor sink and tap, we will install and connect them. If you would prefer we supply them, we can recommend suitable sinks and tapware built for outdoor use and quote supply and install together. Outdoor sinks range from simple utility and laundry-style tubs to stainless steel outdoor-kitchen sinks, and choosing one suited to outdoor conditions matters for longevity. Whichever way you prefer, we install the sink and connect the plumbing properly, so you get a durable outdoor sink that works well and lasts. We will advise on suitable options if you would like a recommendation for your setup.

Hot water outdoors

While many outdoor sinks are cold-water only, you may want hot water outside too, for washing up in an outdoor kitchen, rinsing off at the pool, or cleaning in a workshop. We can run a hot water supply to your outdoor sink as well as cold, and fit a mixer tap so you have warm water on demand outdoors. This involves extending the hot water supply to the location, which we can advise on and install. If hot water at your outdoor sink would make it more useful, mention it when you book, and we will plumb both hot and cold to the sink, so your outdoor washing-up or rinsing is as convenient as it is indoors.

Outdoor sinks and drainage rules

An important part of installing an outdoor sink is handling the waste water correctly, it needs to drain to an appropriate point, such as the sewer or an approved discharge, in line with plumbing requirements, not just run onto the ground or into the stormwater, which is generally not permitted for sink waste. We install the drainage for your outdoor sink to the standard, connecting it to an appropriate waste point, so it is done correctly and compliantly. This is part of why outdoor sink installation is a job for a licensed plumber, getting the waste right matters. We ensure your outdoor sink drains properly and compliantly, so there are no issues with where the waste water goes.

How much does it cost?

The cost of installing an outdoor sink depends mainly on how far the water supply and drainage need to be run to reach the location, the access, and whether you want hot water as well as cold. A sink close to existing plumbing is a smaller job than one at the far end of the garden needing the water and waste run a long way. The sink and tap chosen also factor in. We assess what is needed and give you an upfront fixed price before we start, so you know the cost. We will explain what running the water and drainage to your chosen spot involves, so there are no surprises.
