Sink Installation in Tomșani

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

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
Buy the sink before calling the plumber so they can see the mounting type and dimensions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the plumber remove the old sink in Tomșani?

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

Can I fit a sink myself?

Technically it's possible for a straightforward replacement on existing connections. The risks lie in overtightening plastic parts, sealing incorrectly, and the trap's water seal. A slow leak under a worktop can destroy the cabinetry before it's noticed, and the repair far exceeds the cost of installation.

What warranty comes with the installation?

Labour is usually warranted for 6–24 months. The sink and tap carry the manufacturer's warranty, but conditional on correct installation. Ask for a receipt or invoice confirming the work was done by a professional — that's the document that matters in any claim to the manufacturer.

Can the sink be moved elsewhere in the kitchen?

Yes, but that becomes a plumbing alteration rather than a simple installation. It means extending the supply pipes and, more importantly, the waste, which must maintain a continuous fall to the stack. The cost rises significantly, and in flats the maximum distance is limited by the available fall.

How much does sink installation cost in Tomșani?

For a kitchen sink fitted into a worktop, labour typically falls between 110 and 380 RON, depending on area and complexity. A bathroom basin costs 95–320 RON. If the old sink needs removing and disposing of, add 50–120 RON.
