Kinds of Sinks That We Install:

- Installing a commercial sink

As for kitchen sinks, all three primary varieties are installed by service providers:
1. Drop-In Sinks:
Often referred to as top-mount or self-rimming, a drop-in sink partially rests on your kitchen counter. To install this kind of sink, the sink is dropped into a hole that has been cut in the countertop. The majority of these sinks can sustain their weight and are secured in position by screws, clips, and sealant to stop water splashing out of them.
2. Undermount Sinks:
These sinks are located beneath the counter and do not have a lip that rests on the surface. This creates a more streamlined look that complements solid countertop materials like granite, quartz, and marble. Cleaning is also made simpler by the absence of a lip.
3. Farmhouse Sinks:
Large, deep sinks with an exposed front edge are known as farmhouse sinks or apron sinks. Although the front edge of this sink is completely carved out of the counter, exposing the sink basin wall, the other three edges of this sink have the same appearance as an undermount sink. This design, which calls for a specific base cabinet, is favoured by those who frequently have to clean large objects.
We can also install twin or triple bowl sinks, along with any other features and accessories that best suit your requirements.
Installing Sinks:
It can be difficult to find a sink that suits your demands and available space. We have experts here to help you make that choice. Along with your overall budget, we’ll take into account your available space, plumbing hook-up, cleaning requirements, and desire for extra features and upgrades. We will assist you in selecting the ideal sink, install any plumbing that may be required, and then install and test your new sink correctly.
Replacing Sinks:
We can help whether you wish to replace sink due to leaks, cracks, or restoration goals. We begin by checking the existing plumbing and your replacement sink for damage and any additional plumbing installation requirements. Once your new sink is unpacked, inspected, and installed, we take care to fasten it to your existing plumbing. In the end, we connect your new sink to your garbage disposal or faucet. Our staff cleans up job-related materials after completion out of respect for your house.
Typical Issues Needing a New Sink:
Here are a few typical indicators that you need a new sink:
- Spills
- Issues with the cabinet’s faucet or trap base
- Unusual or disagreeable smells
- Poor water pressure
- Breaks or cracks in the sink
Considerations Before Installing a Kitchen Sink:
When selecting a sink for your kitchen renovation, keep the following things in mind:
1. Purpose Of Sink:
The way your kitchen functions and performs is determined by your kitchen sink, so it’s critical to think about how you’ll utilize it. A shallower sink with two basins can be the ideal choice if you seldom cook or just use tiny dishes. If you use large equipment and cook often, you will want a deeper sink with more space. For speedy and sanitary ingredient preparation, you might even want a prep sink.
2. The Appearance Of The Sink:
The majority of sinks can withstand anything, thus the main factors in selecting a material are price and aesthetics. Granite quartz composite, fireclay, cast iron, copper, and stainless steel are common sink materials. Every substance has benefits of its own. Copper sinks, for instance, are aesthetically pleasing and antimicrobial, but fireclay sinks are smooth and resistant to chips.
What Services Do We Offer For Installing Kitchen Sinks?
On the day of installation, your committed specialist will take out your outdated plumbing and install new faucet and sink, along with any accessories that were included if they were purchased as a set. Remember when you’re purchasing that the installation doesn’t involve making new holes in the counter or sink. To prevent additional fees and installation delays, be sure it utilizes the same plumbing as your previous one.
Finally, your installer will test the system to make sure it is working properly and clean up the work area before departing. Note that our services do not cover disposal of the delivery box or the old sink and/or faucet; this is the customer’s responsibility.

Indications That a New Kitchen Sink Installation Is Required:
When it’s time to install a new kitchen sink, there are several signs that will let you know. A kitchen sink replacement is not always the answer to issues with your kitchen sink. Sometimes all it takes to get going is a few minor adjustments here and there. But if any of the following occur, you might need kitchen sink replacement contractors:
- Even when using solutions like drain cleaning agents, the drainage process remains sluggish.
- A portion of the drain line appears damaged, and leaks start to appear.
- An unpleasant odour emanates from your kitchen, and despite your best efforts to eliminate it, it persists.
Professional Assistance vs. Do-It-Yourself Kitchen Sink Installation:
When deciding whether to install a kitchen sink in Singapore, you are frequently faced with two choices. A professional plumber can be hired to complete the work, or you can do it yourself and save money on the installation of a kitchen sink. Do-it-yourself installations are typically less expensive. However, if you want to conduct a clean job, you need to have a lot of expertise and skills.
Errors such as poorly installed drains or a kitchen sink that is not fitted properly might result in leaks and other issues. However, if you hire a skilled professional plumber, they will make sure that the drains are installed and connected correctly. Additionally, a qualified plumber makes sure there are no spaces between the sink and your countertop.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Which Varieties Of Kitchen Sinks Can Be Installed?
Kitchen sinks come in a variety of styles, such as farmhouse (apron front), undermount, top-mount (drop-in), and integrated sinks. Choosing the best type relies on your kitchen’s layout, available space, and personal preferences because each has unique aesthetic appeal and practical advantages.
What Is The Price Of Installing A Kitchen Sink?
The type of sink, materials, plumbing adjustments, and labour charges are just a few of the variables that affect how much a kitchen sink installation costs. For installation, homeowners should budget between $150 and $500 on average. It is advisable to obtain quotes from multiple contractors because intricate installations or advanced sinks may be more expensive.
Can I Do My Kitchen Sink Installation?
Although some skilled do-it-yourselfers might be able to install a kitchen sink, hiring a professional plumber is always advised. A professional minimizes future problems and offers peace of mind by ensuring correct installation, preventing possible leaks, and adhering to plumbing code requirements.
What Plumbing Adjustments Are Required When Installing A Kitchen Sink?
To make room for the new sink, plumbing changes may involve modifying venting systems, drain pipes, and water supply lines. More changes can be needed if you’re changing the type of sink (for example, from a top-mount to an undermount). These changes can be made safely and effectively by qualified plumbers.
How Can I Pick A Kitchen Sink That Is The Ideal Size For My Area?
When choosing a sink size, take into account your cooking and cleaning routines, cabinet space, and the size of your kitchen countertop. Although there are larger and smaller options, standard kitchen sinks are usually between 22 and 33 inches wide. To guarantee a good fit, you must measure the area you currently occupy.
Which Are The Best Materials To Use For Kitchen Sinks?
Granite, composite, cast iron, porcelain, and stainless steel are among the materials used to make kitchen sinks. Porcelain has a timeless appearance, while stainless steel is well-liked for its toughness and stain resistance. The ideal material will vary depending on your budget, preferred style, and intended function of the sink.
What Is The Duration Required To Install A Kitchen Sink?
Depending on the installation’s intricacy and any required plumbing adjustments, a kitchen sink’s installation usually takes one to four hours. The timeline may also be impacted by variables like the type of sink, the state of the plumbing, and whether you’re replacing an old sink.
Will A New Sink Need New Fixtures Or A New Faucet?
Not always, however, it frequently depends on the sink type you select. A new faucet or plumbing fixtures that meet the new configuration might be required if you’re changing to a different sink size or design. Verify that the sink is compatible with any existing fixtures, or seek advice from an expert.
How Can A Kitchen Sink Be Installed Without Leaking?
During installation, make sure that every connection is correctly sealed and tightened to stop leaks. After installation, routinely inspect for leaks by looking for things like water pooling or moisture beneath the sink. Plumbing connections should also be inspected on a regular basis, and any problems should be fixed right away.
After Installation, What Upkeep Is Necessary For A Kitchen Sink?
Although general care involves routinely washing the sink with mild soap and water to avoid stains and buildup, maintenance is dependent upon the material of the sink. Abrasive cleansers and aggressive chemicals can harm some finishes, so stay away from them. To keep stainless steel sinks shiny and free of scratches, think about using a specialized cleaner.
