Bathroom Sink Installation in Gatineau: Style and Function for Your Bathroom
The bathroom sink is a focal point of daily routines—used for handwashing, face washing, tooth brushing, and countless other tasks. It's also a significant design element that contributes to your bathroom's overall aesthetic. Whether you're replacing a worn sink, upgrading to a new style, or adding a sink during renovation, professional installation ensures proper function and lasting beauty. Plombier Gatineau provides expert bathroom sink installation throughout Gatineau.
Types of Bathroom Sinks
Drop-In Sinks
The most common type, drop-in sinks have a rim that sits on top of the counter. A hole is cut in the countertop and the sink drops in, with the rim covering the cut edge. Installation is straightforward, and the sink can be replaced without disturbing the counter.
Undermount Sinks
Mounted below the countertop, undermount sinks create a clean, seamless look. The counter edge is visible, so this style works best with attractive counter materials like granite or quartz. Installation requires proper support from below.
Vessel Sinks
These bowl-shaped sinks sit on top of the counter, making a dramatic design statement. They require a special tall faucet for proper clearance and drainage positioning at the correct height.
Pedestal Sinks
Freestanding sinks on a ceramic pedestal offer classic style and work well in smaller bathrooms where vanity storage isn't needed. Plumbing is more visible, so careful installation matters aesthetically.
Wall-Mounted Sinks
Attached directly to the wall with no floor support, wall-mounted sinks maximize floor space and create a contemporary look. They require proper wall reinforcement to support the sink's weight.
Vanity Sinks
Integrated into bathroom vanity cabinets, these provide storage below while offering a complete, coordinated look.
Installation Considerations
Drain and Supply Locations
New sinks must work with existing drain and supply locations or require plumbing modifications. When replacing a sink with a different style (say, a pedestal replacing a vanity), we verify that plumbing positions work for the new configuration.
Faucet Compatibility
Sinks have specific hole configurations for faucets—single hole, 4-inch spread, 8-inch spread, or no holes (for wall-mounted faucets). Choose faucet and sink together to ensure compatibility.
Overflow
Most bathroom sinks have an overflow drain that prevents overfilling. The drain assembly must match—overflow drains require specific drain fittings.
Counter Support
Undermount sinks need proper clips and sealant to stay in place under the counter. Heavy vessel sinks need a stable mounting surface.
Our Installation Process
Removal
We carefully disconnect water supplies and drain, remove the old sink and faucet, and clean the area for new installation.
Preparation
We verify new sink fits properly, check drain and supply positioning, and prepare mounting surfaces.
Sink Installation
The sink is mounted according to its type—dropped in, attached from below, set on counter, or wall-mounted. We ensure proper leveling and sealing.
Drain Assembly
We install the drain fitting, pop-up stopper mechanism, and P-trap connection. Proper sealing prevents leaks.
Faucet and Supplies
We install the faucet, connect supply lines with quality braided stainless steel hoses, and install or verify shutoff valves.

We test all functions—hot and cold flow, drainage, stopper operation—and check every connection for leaks.
