Sink Installation in Poplaca

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

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
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

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the plumber bring the necessary materials?

They usually bring consumables — sanitary silicone, PTFE tape, flexible hoses, seals — either included or invoiced separately at modest values. The sink, tap, and trap are bought by the client. Confirm what the tradesperson brings upfront so the job isn't halted for a missing part.

Should I buy the sink before calling the plumber?

Yes, that's recommended, so the tradesperson can see the mounting type and dimensions. Many plumbers will also do a measuring visit beforehand, particularly useful for inset sinks, where the worktop cut-out must match the product template exactly.

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.
