More information
What a basin replacement covers
A planned, like for like replacement of an existing basin, with careful fitting and checks to avoid drips, movement, or poor drainage.
- Isolation of hot and cold supplies before work starts
- Removal of the existing basin and safe disconnection of pipework
- Installation of the new basin with secure fixings and correct alignment
- Connection of taps and waste to existing pipework (where compatible)
- Leak testing on all joints and seals
- Functional checks for flow, drainage, and trap seal
When this service is the right fit
Choose a basin replacement if your current basin is cracked, stained, loose on the wall, or you are updating fixtures without changing the layout. It also suits landlords and small commercial spaces that need a reliable, tidy swap with minimal disruption. If you want to move the basin position, change pipe routes, or alter tiles and furniture, that is better treated as a separate scoped job.
How the work is carried out
The water is isolated first, then the basin and connections are removed. The new basin is set out, fixed securely, and reconnected to the existing hot, cold, and waste where suitable. Everything is then leak tested and checked for smooth drainage before the area is left clean and usable.
Aftercare and next steps
You will be shown the finished installation and key shut off points, and advised on any parts that may be worth renewing soon, such as ageing isolation valves or waste fittings. If you are planning further bathroom updates, you can use the basin replacement as a sensible first step before larger works.
