Bathroom Installations & Refurbishments

Basin Installation (Bathroom Project)

A properly installed basin should look right, drain quickly and stay leak-free. This service covers the plumbing installation of a bathroom basin or vanity unit as part of a wider bathroom project, with careful planning, tidy connections and thorough testing.

More information

What basin installation covers

Fitting a basin or vanity unit is more than fixing it to the wall. The work is planned around your bathroom layout, pipe runs and finishes to ensure everything aligns and performs as it should.

  • Review of basin or vanity position, clearances and existing services
  • First-fix pipework for hot, cold and waste (as needed)
  • Installation of basin or vanity unit and waste fittings
  • Connection of taps, trap, waste and isolation valves
  • Sealing and final alignment for a clean finish
  • Leak checks and testing of flow and drainage
  • Coordination with other bathroom works (tiling, boxing-in, flooring)

When this service is right for you

  • You are renovating a bathroom and want the basin position changed
  • You are upgrading to a vanity unit and need pipework adjusted to suit
  • You want a smarter finish with concealed pipework and reliable drainage
  • You manage a rental property and need a robust, easy-to-maintain setup

How the installation is delivered

Work is usually completed in phases to suit the build sequence. Pipework is set during first fix, then the basin or vanity is fitted once walls and finishes are ready.

You can expect clear check-ins on what needs to happen before fitting day, what will be isolated, and what will be tested before sign-off.

After installation

Before completion, all connections are checked for leaks and correct operation. You will be shown any isolation points and given practical guidance on care, sealant curing times (where relevant) and what to monitor during early use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you install basins supplied by the customer?
Yes, customer-supplied basins and vanity units can be installed as long as they are suitable for the space and compatible with the existing system. We will flag any issues early so you can resolve them before fitting.
Can you move the basin to a new position?
Yes, pipework can often be rerouted to suit a new layout. We will check access, waste fall and how the new position affects other fixtures before confirming the best approach.
Will the installation include new taps and wastes?
It can. If you are replacing the basin, it is usually sensible to fit matching taps, waste and trap at the same time for reliability and finish.
How do you prevent leaks and slow drainage?
We use correctly sized fittings, maintain the right waste fall and pressure-test where appropriate. All joints are checked under running water, and we confirm the basin empties cleanly before completion.
Can this be coordinated with a full bathroom refurbishment?
Yes, basin installation is commonly scheduled alongside first-fix and second-fix stages of a bathroom project. We coordinate timing so the basin is fitted after surfaces are ready, reducing the risk of damage and rework.
