Sink Installation in Oituz

About this service

Most problems that appear after a sink is fitted share the same origin: a seal overtightened, a trap installed at the wrong fall, or silicone applied to a damp surface. An experienced plumber tightens connections hand-tight plus a quarter turn with a spanner and no more, because a forced thread cracks the plastic nut and starts dripping weeks later. The trap is fitted with a continuous fall towards the stack, with no horizontal sections where residue collects, and the water seal must be maintained to block drain odours. Silicone sealing is done on a perfectly dry, degreased surface, otherwise the bead lifts within months and water reaches under the worktop, where it swells the chipboard beyond repair.

What to check before hiring a sink installation

Ask for the tap to be fitted to the sink before installation — it's far easier and seals better
Insist on sealing the cut edge of a chipboard worktop, otherwise it swells over time
Check the condition of the isolating valves and replace them now if they're old or seized
Don't soak the siliconed perimeter during the first 24 hours after installation
Ask for a pressure test and check under the sink yourself with dry paper before the tradesperson leaves
Choose a trap with access for clearing, to avoid full dismantling at the first blockage

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does it smell of drains after installation?

The most common reason is a trap fitted incorrectly or without a water seal, letting drain gases rise. Other causes are a leaking seal at the stack connection or a dried-out trap if the sink hasn't been used for a while. A plumber checks the fall and the tightness of the joints.

What kind of trap is better?

A plastic trap is cheap, easy to dismantle for cleaning, and adequate for most situations. A chromed metal one looks better on wall-hung basins where it remains visible, but is harder to clean. What matters is that the chosen model has a water seal and access for clearing blockages.

How long should I wait before using the sink?

You can use it immediately for brief use, but sanitary silicone needs 12–24 hours to cure fully. During that time avoid soaking the sealed perimeter, otherwise the bead won't adhere properly and will lift within months.

Can a sink be fitted into a chipboard worktop?

Yes, that's the most common situation in kitchens. The cut edge must be sealed without fail, with silicone or a special lacquer, because chipboard absorbs water and swells irreversibly. This is the most frequent hidden defect in rushed installations.

Does the plumber remove the old sink in Oituz?

Removal is usually included, but transporting and disposing of the old sink is often charged separately. Some tradespeople in Oituz will take it for a small fee, others leave it with the client. Clarify this when requesting a quote, particularly for cast iron sinks, which are very heavy.

What's the difference between inset, top-mounted, and undermount sinks?

An inset sink sits in the worktop cut-out with the rim visible above — the simplest to fit. An undermount sink is fixed from below, giving a clean look but requiring a stone or composite worktop. Top-mounted models sit entirely above and are the easiest to replace later.
