Signs your sink needs repair or replacement
Almost every sink call starts as a damp cabinet. If the basin drains slowly rather than leaks, start with a clogged kitchen sink or a clogged bathroom sink.
- Water standing in the cabinet underneath
- A trap or tailpiece that drips after every use
- A basket strainer that will not hold water
- Rust or staining spreading around the drain
- A cracked or chipped basin
- Shutoff valves that will not close
Commercial sink repair, replacement, and installation
A sink out of service in a commercial kitchen is a compliance problem, not an inconvenience. We schedule around service hours rather than ours. More on commercial plumbing.
Commercial kitchen and prep sinks
Three compartment sinks, prep sinks, and the indirect waste and drain side that keeps a kitchen open. We can pick up drain and grease trap work on the same visit.
Mop sinks and hand wash stations
The fixtures a health inspection looks at, installed, repaired, and put back in service quickly.
Booked around your hours, not ours
We work 8:00am to 9:00pm, seven days a week, so a commercial sink can be replaced before service or after close, at the same price as a Tuesday morning.
What sink repair and installation involves
Most of what goes wrong with a sink is underneath it rather than in it. Before you buy a sink, see what else has to come out with it.
The drain assembly, not just the basin
Most sink leaks are the tailpiece, the trap or the basket strainer rather than the sink. A sink and drain assembly replacement runs $300 to $700.
Shutoff valves while we are under there
The stops under a sink are usually older than the sink, and they are what turns a short job into a long one. Quarter turn valves are $120 to $250 each.
Garbage disposal replacement
$300 to $650 including the drain work that goes with it. If yours hums and will not turn, that is often a repair rather than a replacement.
Faucets on the same visit
The faucet is usually the reason the sink is being opened up in the first place. See faucet repair and installation for what that costs.

Questions We Get Asked About Sink Repair And Installation
What people ask before we come out to a sink.
How much does a sink replacement cost?
A sink and drain assembly replacement runs $300 to $700. A faucet is $250 to $550, a garbage disposal $300 to $650, and a shutoff valve $120 to $250 each. Full ranges are in our toilet and fixture cost guide.
My sink drains slowly. Is that the sink or the drain?
Usually the drain. If one sink is slow, the blockage is close by in the trap or the branch line. If more than one fixture is slow, it is further down the system and it is a different job. See clogged kitchen sink and clogged bathroom sink.
Can you replace a sink without replacing the countertop?
In most cases, yes, as long as the new basin suits the existing cutout. Undermount sinks in stone are the exception, because the sink is fixed to the underside of the counter.
Can you install a sink I bought myself?
Yes. Bring your own and you pay labor only. We will tell you honestly if it is one we see fail early.
Do you work on commercial kitchen sinks?
Yes. Three compartment sinks, prep sinks, mop sinks, and hand wash stations, scheduled around your service hours so the kitchen keeps running.
