Sink Installation in Pleșoiu

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

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
Ask for the tap to be fitted to the sink before installation — it's far easier and seals better

Frequently Asked Questions

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 Pleșoiu?

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