HomeGeneral PlumbingSink Installation

A new sink needs secure mounting, proper sealing to prevent leaks, correctly connected taps, and a waste that drains without backing up. DIY installations often leak around the edges, the sink works loose, the waste drips underneath, or there's no trap and smells escape. In Nottingham's older properties around Hyson Green and Radford, non-standard worktop thicknesses and awkward pipe positions make sink fitting harder than it looks.

We install kitchen sinks, bathroom basins, Belfast sinks, and utility sinks. We cut worktops if needed, fit the sink securely, install taps and waste, connect to existing plumbing, and seal everything properly. Most installations take 2-3 hours.

We operate across all Nottingham areas. No call-out fee. All sink installations carry a 12-month guarantee.

Types of Sinks We Install

Inset kitchen sinks

Drop into a cut-out in the worktop. Stainless steel, ceramic, or composite. We cut the worktop, seal the rim, and clamp from underneath.

Undermount sinks

Fixed under the worktop for a clean look. Need solid worktops (stone, quartz, solid wood). More complex installation but very sleek.

Belfast sinks

Deep ceramic sinks mounted on brackets or in a stand. Common in older properties. We fit wall brackets securely and connect waste properly.

Bathroom basins

Wall-hung, pedestal, countertop, or undermount. Each needs different fixing methods. We ensure secure mounting and proper waste connections.

What's Included in Sink Installation

Worktop cutting (if needed)

We cut worktops to size for inset sinks using template provided. Clean edges, no chipping. For undermounts, worktop fabricators usually cut, we just fit.

Secure fixing

We fix sinks with clips, adhesive, or wall brackets depending on type. Everything is secured so it won't move or work loose.

Tap and waste installation

We fit taps with proper sealing, connect waste with trap, and seal the waste outlet. Dishwasher connections added if needed.

Connect to existing plumbing

We connect hot and cold supplies and waste to existing pipes. We fit isolation valves if there aren't any.

Seal and test

We seal around the sink edge with silicone, let it cure, test taps and waste under full flow, check for leaks.

Common Sink Installation Problems

Poor installations cause these issues:

Leaking around the edge

No sealant or poor quality sealant. Water seeps under the sink and damages worktops. We use sanitary-grade silicone that lasts.

Dripping waste

Waste not sealed properly or overtightened, cracking the plastic. We fit wastes correctly, hand-tight with washers, no leaks.

Sink working loose

Clips not tightened or adhesive not used on undermounts. The sink moves when you lean on it. We secure properly.

Slow draining

Waste pipe doesn't have proper fall or the trap is wrong type. We fit waste correctly so it drains freely.
