When this service is the right fit
This service is ideal if you have any of the following:
- Drips or pooling water in the kitchen unit under the sink
- A musty smell, swollen chipboard, or damp patches near the cabinet base
- Leaks that start when the tap runs, the dishwasher drains, or the sink empties
- A slow drip from a trap, waste connection, or a valve on the pipework
It suits homeowners who want the job done properly first time, and landlords or small premises needing a dependable fix and clear updates.
How the repair is carried out
The repair starts with a practical inspection to identify whether the leak is from the waste and trap assembly, a joint, or the pressurised supply pipework. The water is then isolated, the faulty part is repaired or replaced, and seals are re-made as needed. Finally, the sink is run and drained while connections are monitored to confirm everything is dry and working as it should.
After the repair
You will know what caused the leak and what was done to resolve it. If any nearby components look close to failing, you can get clear advice on sensible next steps to reduce the risk of a repeat issue. If water has escaped for a while, you may also be advised on drying and checking the surrounding unit and flooring.
