Professional sink installation
Installing a sink properly means more than setting it in place, it means connecting the taps, the waste and the water supply correctly, sealing the sink so water cannot get underneath, and testing everything leak-free. Done poorly, a sink leaks into the cabinet or bench, causing water damage, mould and swollen cabinetry over time. We install and replace kitchen, laundry and bathroom sinks of all types, connecting the plumbing, sealing the sink, and testing it, so you get a sink that works properly and does not leak. Whether it is a new sink, a replacement, or part of a renovation, we install it correctly across Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, with an upfront fixed price.
Types of sinks we install
We install all the main types of sink to suit your kitchen, laundry or bathroom:
- Drop-in (top-mount) sinks, which sit in a cut-out with the rim on the bench
- Undermount sinks, fixed below the bench for a seamless look
- Farmhouse (butler) sinks, with an exposed front
- Single and double bowl kitchen sinks
- Laundry sinks and tubs
- Bathroom basins and vanity sinks
Each type installs and seals differently, and we have the expertise to fit them all correctly, connect the plumbing, and seal them properly, so your new sink looks right and performs well, whichever style you have chosen.
Connecting the taps
Installing a sink usually goes hand in hand with installing or connecting the tap, and we handle both together. We fit the tap to the sink or bench, connect it to the water supply with sound hoses and seals, and test it leak-free. If you are upgrading, this is the ideal time to switch to a modern mixer tap or add features like a pull-out spray. We can install a tap you have chosen or supply one to suit. Connecting the tap correctly, with proper seals and connections, is part of a complete sink installation, so you are left with a sink and tap that work together and do not leak at the tap base or the connections below.
The waste and trap
A crucial part of installing a sink is connecting the waste and the P-trap below it correctly. The waste outlet is fitted and sealed to the sink, and the P-trap, the U-bend that holds water to block sewer gases, is connected to the drain. These connections must be sealed and secure, or the sink will leak into the cabinet below and let smells up. We fit and seal the waste, connect the trap, and ensure everything drains properly and is watertight, testing it by running water. Getting the waste and trap right is essential, it is a common source of under-sink leaks when done poorly, so professional installation ensures your sink drains well and stays leak-free underneath.
Replacing an old sink
Replacing an old, worn, stained or dated sink is a common job that instantly freshens up a kitchen, laundry or bathroom. We remove the old sink, disconnect the plumbing, and install the new one, reconnecting the tap, waste and water supply, and adapting the connections where the new sink differs in size or configuration. We seal the new sink properly and test it leak-free. If the tap is also old, replacing it at the same time makes sense. Whether your old sink has cracked, stained, or you simply want to update it, we can fit a new one and have your kitchen, laundry or bathroom looking fresh and working properly again.
Sinks in a renovation
Installing a sink is a key part of a kitchen, laundry or bathroom renovation, and we coordinate it with the rest of the work. In a renovation, the sink, tap, waste and water supply may all be new or relocated, and the plumbing needs to be roughed in to the right place for the new layout. We can plumb the new sink location, install the sink, tap and waste, and connect everything, working in with the cabinetry and bench installation. Getting the plumbing right during the renovation ensures the new sink sits and connects properly. If you are renovating, we handle the sink and plumbing side, so your new kitchen, laundry or bathroom is complete and leak-free.
Kitchen sinks
The kitchen sink is one of the most-used fixtures in the home, so it needs to be installed well and connected to cope with daily use. We install single and double bowl kitchen sinks, in drop-in, undermount and farmhouse styles, connecting the mixer tap, the waste (including for double bowls and any disposal unit), and the water supply, and sealing the sink to the bench. We ensure the connections are sound and the sink drains well. Whether you are fitting a new kitchen, upgrading to a larger or better sink, or replacing a worn one, we install your kitchen sink properly, so it handles the dishes, food prep and daily use without leaks or drainage problems.
Laundry sinks and tubs
Laundry sinks and tubs take heavy use, soaking, washing, and often the washing machine draining into them, so they need robust connections and good drainage. We install laundry tubs and sinks, connecting the taps, the waste, and the water supply, and setting up the drainage to handle the laundry’s demands, including the washing machine discharge where it drains into the tub. We can install a new tub, replace an old one, or set up a tub in a new laundry location. A well-installed laundry sink with proper drainage copes with the volume of water a laundry handles, so it does not back up or overflow. We fit it correctly and test it.
Bathroom basins
Bathroom basins and vanity sinks come in many styles, drop-in, undermount, above-counter and wall-hung, and each connects and seals differently. We install and replace bathroom basins, connecting the tap or mixer, the waste and trap, and the water supply, and sealing the basin to the vanity or wall. We ensure the pop-up or plug waste works and the connections are leak-free, so there is no water pooling in the vanity below. Whether you are renovating a bathroom, updating a vanity, or replacing a cracked basin, we install the new basin and connect the plumbing properly, so it looks right and does not leak. We can also install the tap and vanity as part of the job.
Outdoor and specialty sinks
Beyond the standard kitchen, laundry and bathroom sinks, we install outdoor sinks for alfresco areas and outdoor kitchens, and specialty sinks such as those connected to filtered water taps. An outdoor sink needs its water supply and drainage run to the location and connected to withstand outdoor conditions, which we handle. A filtered water setup connects the sink and a dedicated tap to a filter system for clean drinking water. Whatever the sink and its requirements, we can plumb the supply and waste and install it correctly. If you want a sink somewhere out of the ordinary, an outdoor entertaining area, a butler’s pantry, or with filtered water, we can install it properly.
Sealing and leak testing
Two things make the difference between a sink that lasts and one that causes problems: proper sealing and thorough leak testing. We seal the sink to the bench or vanity so water cannot get underneath and rot the cabinetry, and we seal the waste and tap connections. Then we test everything by running water and checking the tap, the waste, the trap and all the connections for any leak, before considering the job done. This is why a professionally installed sink does not develop the under-sink leaks and water damage that poorly fitted sinks suffer. We do not just connect your sink, we make sure it is watertight and will stay that way.
How much does it cost?
The cost of installing a sink depends on the type of sink, whether it is a replacement using existing plumbing or a new installation needing the supply and waste run or relocated, and whether a new tap is included. A straightforward replacement is affordable; a new sink in a new location, or an undermount or farmhouse sink needing more work, costs more. We assess the job and give you an upfront fixed price before we start, including supply of the sink or tap if you want us to provide them. We will explain what is involved, so there are no surprises, and leave you with a properly installed, leak-free sink.
