More information
What basin installation covers
A professional basin installation focuses on safe connections, reliable drainage, and a tidy result. The service typically includes:
- Removal of the existing basin (where applicable)
- Isolation of hot and cold water supplies
- Fitting the basin and securing it correctly
- Installing the waste, trap, and connecting pipework
- Connecting hot and cold feeds with appropriate fittings
- Checking falls and alignment for proper drainage
- Full leak testing and functional checks before sign-off
When this service is most useful
This service is a good fit if you are replacing a cracked or dated basin, upgrading taps and fittings, or refreshing a cloakroom or bathroom. Landlords often book it between tenancies to reduce call-outs from drips, blockages, or loose fittings. It also suits small commercial washrooms that need a dependable, easy-to-maintain basin setup.
How the installation is carried out
The water supply is isolated and the existing setup is assessed for access and condition. The basin is fixed securely, then the waste, trap, and supply connections are made to suit the layout and pipework. Everything is tested for leaks and correct flow, and minor adjustments are made so the basin drains cleanly and sits level.
After installation: checks and ongoing value
You will have a basin that operates correctly, drains as it should, and is less likely to develop slow leaks that cause damage over time. If any follow-up adjustments are needed once the basin has been used, they can usually be resolved quickly. Keeping an eye out for early signs of dripping or slow drainage helps maintain a reliable setup.
