How pricing works
Quoted on site, after we have opened it up and found the cause. Nothing starts without your yes.
| You notice | Usual cause | On the job |
|---|---|---|
| Toilet fills by itself every hour | Worn flapper leaking to the bowl | Dye test, replace flapper or fill valve |
| Puddle creeping out from the toilet base | Failed wax ring or loose closet bolts | Pull the toilet, new seal, reset |
| Tap drips with the handle off | Worn cartridge or seat washer | Pull the cartridge, match and replace |
When you need kitchen sink installation
- A counter replacement with a new undermount or drop-in sink.
- Moving from a double to a single bowl, or the reverse.
- A chipped, stained or leaking sink.
- Adding a dishwasher, disposal or filtered water tap.
What the visit looks like
We coordinate with your counter installer if there is one. An undermount sink is usually fixed to the stone before or during templating, so timing matters. On the day, we fit the faucet and any extra tap to the deck, then connect hot and cold through new stops if the old ones are stiff or weeping. The drain is assembled with a proper trap arm, sized to the existing wall connection, with a dishwasher branch and disposal outlet where needed.
We test by filling both bowls and draining them together, running the dishwasher through a cycle while watching for drips, and checking every slip joint by hand. A loose slip nut under a sink is the most common callback in the trade, so we take our time on them.
Ask about the air gap: a dishwasher drain must be arranged so dirty water cannot siphon back. We set it up correctly.
Milton homes and this problem
Island sinks are common in Milton kitchens built in the last twenty years. They connect to a drain that runs under the floor, often with an island vent or an air admittance valve, which affects what kind of sink and trap can go in. Older kitchens in the town core sometimes have a galvanized drain stub in the wall that needs replacing to a modern size before the new sink is connected. Our page on faucet replacement covers tap choices in more detail.
What affects the cost
- Undermount versus drop-in.
- Adding a dishwasher, disposal or second tap.
- Replacing stop valves or a wall drain stub.
- Coordination with a counter installer.
Doing it yourself vs calling
Swapping a faucet on an existing sink is a reasonable owner project. Moving drains, adding a dishwasher branch or reworking an island vent is plumbing that is easy to get almost right, and almost right drips.
Questions we get asked
Can you install a sink in my new quartz counter?
Yes. We coordinate with your fabricator on mounting and cutouts.
Do I need new shut-off valves?
If the existing ones are stiff, weeping or old multi-turn valves, replacing them now is wise.
Can a dishwasher share the sink drain?
Yes, through a proper branch tailpiece or the disposal inlet, set up to prevent backflow.
