What does a kitchen sink installation service include?

Your kitchen sink installer will take care of everything, from helping you choose your sink and prepping the area to installing the sink, fitting the taps and pipes, and sealing the area. Plus, they’ll take care of kitchen sink removal (if needed) and handle any repairs. 


Here’s what you can expect from a handyman offering kitchen sink installation in your area:


Step 1: Kitchen sink removal

If you’re upgrading and replacing your old sink, your installer will first remove it. They’ll switch off the water supply valves under the sink or the main supply. Next, they’ll switch on the tap to let out any water that’s already there. They’ll put buckets underneath the pipes, ready to catch any lingering water as they’re removed. The next step is to remove the water supply lines, along with the drainpipe, fittings, and dishwasher connection (if there is one). They’ll find the sink clips located underneath the outside edge of the sink and loosen them. Next, they’ll use a knife to cut away the caulk that attaches your sink to the benchtop before lifting your sink out.


Step 2: Prep

Taskers come with tools and materials, such as a utility knife, a plumber's putty, an adjustable wrench, or a silicone sealant. You can also prepare some of the materials if you have them on hand. With the sink removed, your contractor will clean the area, removing any extra silicone caulk from the benchtop and washing it with soapy water. They’ll wash and prepare any old parts you are reusing (like the drain or tap). Before installing, they’ll check your new sink and ensure it fits in the existing countertop hole. If not, they’ll either recommend choosing a different sink or increasing the hole size by cutting with a jigsaw until it fits.


Step 3: Kitchen sink installation

Installing your kitchen sink involves applying a silicone caulk to the sink’s underside before placing it into the hole. Next, they’ll wipe away any caulk that seeps out from under the edges before attaching the clips to the underneath of the sink, twisting them to secure the sink into place. Of course, this installation process only applies if your sink is top-mounted, so it will vary slightly for under-mounted sinks.


Step 4: Kitchen tap installation and reconnect pipes

To finish off, your kitchen tap is installed and the pipes are reconnected. Your installer will place your tap through the hole in your sink, using a washer and nut to hold the water lines in place before tightening. They’ll place the drain strainer and seal it in, removing excess putty before covering it with the rubber gasket and flange. Your contractor will connect each water supply line and re-connect the dishwasher and waste pipework, connecting all the pipes together again. Finally, they’ll switch the water supply back on, turn on the sink, test the water pressure, and make sure there are no leaks or possible water damage.

Plumber to fix leaking pipe under kitchen sink

$200

Hawthorn VIC 3122, Australia

13th Aug 2024

We got a new kitchen put in late 2021 and for the last 2.5 years it has had constant leaking problems. The builder replaced it once already but never resolved the issue. The screw parts unscrew themselves and we tried to fix it ourselves with plumber's tape to seal over the threading to stop it moving but that also didn't work. I am at my wit's end, with a container under the sink catching all the drips.

Seeking plumber to replace toilet and kitchen sink

$1,001

Box Hill North VIC, Australia

27th May 2024

MUST HAVE A PLUMBING LICENCE. Accepting quotes for both jobs or just job 1 (toilet) by itself. Job 1 - Toilet Removal of existing toilet and installation of new Caroma Luna Cleanflush wall faced close-coupled toilet (I have purchased this separately). New toilet will need to be installed slightly to the left of existing toilet (approx 21cm from left-side wall). Ideally do not want to relocate the existing water supply tap (I think there should be enough clearance when using the Caroma Uni-Orbital connector). Note that base of the new toilet unit tapers inwards, so should measure slightly less than 35cm wide. See images for measurements. Relavant links: https://media.prod.bunnings.com.au/api/public/content/8212dc19db3d4932a201e598ed60d5ed?v=f21fa31e https://media.prod.bunnings.com.au/api/public/content/1bf9d0de57a7478a90e9707ddcaaf80f?v=6e4a2d4c https://www.caroma.com.au/products/caroma-uniorbital Job 2 - Kitchen Sink Replacement of existing sink with larger/deeper double sink and new mixer tap (I have purchased these separately). Existing sink measurements are 1230mm L x 470mm W x 130mm D (including drainboard 400mm L across). New sink measurements are 1250mm L x 500mm W x 205mm D. Piping will need to be reworked for the deeper basins, and some cutting of cabinet wood may be required for the deeper right basin.
