Expert Kitchen Sink Installation for Brisbane Homes
Planning a kitchen upgrade or replacing a worn-out sink? Our kitchen sink installation service helps homeowners across the city get quality plumbing done fast. Whether it’s a brand new build or you’re just swapping out an old unit, we handle the install properly with no leaks, no loose fittings and no stress.
What’s Included in a Kitchen Sink Installation?
Installing a kitchen sink might sound simple, but it’s more than just dropping in a basin. It involves fitting the sink into your benchtop, connecting the water lines, setting up the waste pipes, sealing everything tight, and making sure the tapware works correctly.
Our service includes:
- Removal of your old sink (if needed)
- Correct positioning and fitting of your new sink
- Connection to hot and cold water supply
- Waste trap and drain setup
- Tap installation and testing
- Silicone sealing to prevent leaks
Why Brisbane Homes Need Proper Sink Installation
Brisbane has a mix of older timber homes and modern builds, and each has different plumbing needs. In older suburbs like Paddington or Annerley, we often see outdated or damaged pipework under the kitchen. In newer estates like Springfield or Mango Hill, poor installation during the build can cause slow leaks or water pooling under the sink.
Installing a sink without the right plumbing knowledge can lead to leaks, water damage, and even mould. That’s why it’s always best to get a licensed plumber involved.
Types of Kitchen Sinks We Install
There are lots of sink styles to choose from, and we’ve worked with all of them. Whether you’ve picked up a drop-in, undermount, or farmhouse sink, we’ll install it right.
Common sink types we handle:
- Stainless steel sinks
- Ceramic and porcelain sinks
- Double and single bowl sinks
- Inset and undermount styles
- Farmhouse and apron front sinks
If you’re not sure what type is best for your kitchen, we can offer advice before you buy.
What About Tapware and Extras?
Most new sink installations also involve fitting a mixer tap, filtered water tap, or a pull-out sprayer. We can supply and fit these or work with taps you’ve already purchased. We also take care of connecting dishwashers or under sink water filters if needed.
We always pressure test your tap lines and check for leaks before we finish the job.
Common Issues We Fix During Installation
A sink install is often a good time to catch plumbing problems hiding under the benchtop. While we work, we check:
- Old or cracked flexi hoses
- Rust or corrosion on copper lines
- Leaking joints or pipe fittings
- Poor waste trap connections
- Blocked or slow-draining waste lines
Fixing these at the same time saves you from future plumbing hassles.
Doing a Kitchen Renovation? Get the Plumbing Done First
If you’re planning a kitchen reno in Brisbane, get your plumber in early. We often work alongside cabinetmakers and builders across suburbs like Camp Hill, Birkdale, and Kenmore. It’s much easier (and cheaper) to adjust water and waste lines before the new cabinetry goes in.
Let us know your layout plans and appliances, and we’ll make sure everything lines up perfectly for your sink, tap, and dishwasher.
DIY Sink Installations Often Go Wrong
Plenty of Brisbane homeowners try DIY sink installs after a weekend at the hardware store. But without the right tools, a bad seal or wrong pipe height can lead to slow leaks and damage to your cabinetry. We’ve seen it all from warped cupboards, mouldy chipboard, or sinks that wobble every time you wash up.
Hiring a licensed plumber means it’s done right, safe, and up to local code. Plus, we can issue compliance certificates where needed.
