Sink Installation Services in Gatineau: Kitchen, Bathroom, and Utility Sinks
Sinks are workhorses of the home—essential for cooking, cleaning, personal hygiene, and countless daily tasks. Whether you're replacing a worn-out sink, upgrading to a new style, or adding a sink where none exists, proper installation is essential for years of trouble-free use. Plombier Gatineau provides professional sink installation services throughout Gatineau for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and anywhere you need a sink.
Types of Sinks We Install
Kitchen Sinks
Kitchen sinks come in various configurations: single bowl for simplicity and maximum workspace, double bowl for separating tasks like washing and rinsing, triple bowl with smaller bowls for specific tasks, and farmhouse (apron front) for traditional style with deep, spacious basins. Materials include stainless steel (durable and affordable), cast iron with enamel coating (traditional and colorful), composite granite (attractive and durable), fireclay (heavy-duty farmhouse style), and solid surface (integrated with countertops). We install sinks in existing countertops or coordinate with countertop installers for new installations.
Bathroom Sinks
Bathroom sink styles include drop-in sinks that sit in a countertop cutout, undermount sinks mounted below the counter for a clean look, vessel sinks that sit on top of the counter, pedestal sinks (freestanding with visible plumbing), wall-mounted sinks for space-saving installations, and vanity sinks integrated into bathroom cabinets. Each style has specific installation requirements and aesthetic implications. We help you choose the right style for your space and perform professional installation.
Utility and Laundry Sinks
Deep utility sinks in laundry rooms, garages, or basements provide space for hand-washing clothes, cleaning tools and equipment, bathing pets, and other heavy-duty tasks. These typically feature durable construction and deep basins. We install both freestanding utility sinks and those integrated into laundry room cabinetry.
Bar and Prep Sinks
Smaller sinks for wet bars, kitchen islands, or food prep areas add convenience without the footprint of a full-size sink.
What Installation Includes
Sink Mounting
Proper mounting ensures the sink is stable, level, and properly sealed to the countertop. Undermount sinks require robust attachment from below; drop-in sinks need proper rim sealing; vessel sinks require stable mounting surfaces.
Drain Assembly
We install complete drain assemblies including the strainer or pop-up, tailpiece, P-trap connection, and any necessary connections. For kitchen sinks, this may include garbage disposal installation and dishwasher drain connection.
Faucet Installation
Most sink installations include faucet installation. We ensure the faucet is properly mounted, connected, and adjusted for optimal operation.
Supply Connections
Hot and cold water supply lines must be properly connected with quality supply hoses and accessible shutoff valves.
Leak Testing
Every installation includes thorough testing to ensure all connections are watertight.
Replacing an Existing Sink
When replacing a sink, we carefully disconnect and remove the old sink, inspect existing plumbing for any needed repairs, install the new sink with proper mounting and sealing, connect to existing (or new) faucets and drains, and test for leaks. If the new sink is a different size or configuration, countertop modification may be needed. We can coordinate with countertop professionals or recommend appropriate contractors.
New Sink Installation
Adding a sink where none exists—a new bathroom, wet bar, or laundry room—requires running water supply lines with accessible shutoff valves, installing drain lines with proper venting to prevent drain problems, connecting to the home's existing plumbing system, and ensuring adequate water pressure at the new location. This is more complex than a simple replacement but well within our expertise.
Sink Repair
In addition to installation, we repair sink-related problems including leaking drain assemblies, clogged drains (using appropriate drain cleaning methods), corroded or damaged supply connections, and damaged or worn-out sink components.
