Sink Installation in Măgurele

About this service

Fitting a sink looks like a simple job, but doing it properly requires preparation and attention to details that only show up months later. A professional plumber checks the position of existing connections, cuts or adjusts the worktop if needed, fits the tap to the sink before installation — far easier than afterwards — makes the hot and cold connections with quality flexible hoses, fits the trap with the correct seals, secures the sink to its cabinet, worktop, or wall depending on type, seals the perimeter with anti-mould sanitary silicone, and pressure-tests thoroughly to catch any leak. The service covers inset and top-mounted kitchen sinks, wall-hung and pedestal basins, double bowls, and replacing an old sink including removal. On SmallJobs you'll find experienced plumbers with real reviews and competitive rates.

What to check before hiring a sink installation

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
Agree in advance who disposes of the old sink, especially if it's cast iron

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a new sink be fitted to the old connections?

In most cases yes, if the connection positions suit the new sink and the isolating valves work. The plumber checks their condition first; old valves that are seized or dripping must be replaced, otherwise the next repair becomes an emergency.

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 Măgurele?

Removal is usually included, but transporting and disposing of the old sink is often charged separately. Some tradespeople in Măgurele 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.
