Kitchen Sink Replacement
A kitchen sink replacement gives you a dependable, watertight sink setup that works properly day to day. The job covers safe isolation, removal of the old sink, correct fitting of the new unit, sound connections to the pipework and thorough leak testing, with clear communication on what’s needed before work starts.
More information
What a kitchen sink replacement includes
A planned sink replacement should leave you with a secure fit, reliable drainage and clean, tidy finishing.
- Isolating hot and cold water supplies
- Disconnecting existing waste pipework and removing the old sink
- Checking the condition and alignment of the existing pipework and fittings
- Fitting the new sink to the existing worktop cut-out (where compatible)
- Installing and connecting the waste, trap and overflow (as applicable)
- Reconnecting existing taps where suitable, or fitting customer-supplied replacements
- Sealing around the sink edge for a neat, watertight finish
- Leak testing on both supply and waste, plus basic functional checks
- Leaving the area safe and usable
When this service is the right fit
- Your sink is cracked, stained, poorly draining or difficult to keep clean
- You have persistent drips or damp in the cupboard below the sink
- You are updating worktops, doors or appliances and want the sink to match
- You are preparing a rental property between tenancies
- A small office or commercial kitchenette needs a like-for-like refresh
How the work is delivered
You agree the sink type and measurements in advance so the replacement matches the existing cut-out and plumbing layout. On the day, supplies are isolated, the old sink and waste connections are removed, then the new sink is fitted and sealed. All joints are tested under flow before the job is signed off, and you are told what was changed and what to keep an eye on.
Aftercare and next steps
You will be advised how long to leave fresh sealant before heavy use and what to do if you notice any damp or odours from the waste. If pipework or valves are worn, you can opt to renew those at the same time to reduce the chance of future leaks. If anything settles after first use, a prompt follow-up can be arranged.
