Sink Repair & Installation in Texas
Kitchen or bathroom sink problems? We repair leaks, replace drains, fix sprayers, and install new sinks including undermount and farmhouse styles.
What Is Sink Repair & Installation?
Sink repair and installation covers all plumbing work related to kitchen and bathroom sinks — including leak repair, drain problems, faucet connections, garbage disposal integration, sprayer repair, trap replacement, and new sink installation for remodels or upgrades.
Common sink problems include leaks at the drain basket, P-trap, or supply line connections; slow drains caused by grease, soap, or debris accumulation; failed sprayer heads or hoses; corroded or stripped drain fittings; and sink mounting issues (loose undermount sinks or damaged rim seals on drop-in sinks).
Sink installation — whether for a kitchen remodel or a bathroom upgrade — requires connecting the water supply lines, setting the drain basket with proper sealing, connecting the P-trap to the wall drain, and integrating any accessories like garbage disposals, soap dispensers, or filtration systems. Undermount sinks require secure bracket mounting and a proper seal to the countertop. Farmhouse (apron-front) sinks need specialized cabinet modifications for support.
The plumber ensures all connections are leak-free by testing under running water and checking every joint. Supply line shut-off valves are inspected and replaced if they are old gate valves that no longer close fully — a common issue in older Texas homes.
Sink plumbing in Texas is affected by hard water in two ways: mineral deposits clog aerators and drain components, and supply line connections corrode faster in hard-water areas, leading to more frequent leak repairs.
Signs You Need Sink Repair & Installation
If you notice any of these symptoms, it's time to call a licensed plumber for professional assessment.
- ⚠Water leaking from under the sink — check the P-trap, drain basket, and supply connections.
- ⚠Slow-draining sink despite clearing visible debris.
- ⚠Faucet sprayer has low pressure or no longer retracts properly.
- ⚠Visible corrosion on drain fittings or supply connections.
- ⚠Sink is loose in the countertop (undermount) or the rim seal is failing (drop-in).
Common Causes and Why This Happens
Understanding what causes the problem helps you make an informed decision about the best repair approach.
Leaking P-trap connections — rubber washers compress over time and stop sealing.
Corroded or cracked drain basket at the bottom of the sink bowl.
Failed supply line connections — rubber or plastic supply tubes deteriorate with age.
Clogged drain line beyond the P-trap from grease, soap, or mineral buildup.
Loose undermount sink brackets allowing the sink to separate from the countertop.
Sprayer hose failure — kinked, cracked, or disconnected kitchen sprayer.

Benefits of Professional Sink Repair & Installation
Stops under-sink leaks that cause cabinet water damage, mold, and floor rot.
New supply lines and shut-off valves eliminate the most common under-sink failure points.
Professional drain basket sealing prevents the slow seepage that warps countertops from below.
Ball valve shut-offs give you reliable water control — critical for future maintenance or emergencies.
Expert Tip
Check under every sink in your home once a month. Run the faucet and look at the P-trap, supply connections, and shut-off valves for any moisture. A 10-second visual check catches leaks before they cause hundreds or thousands of dollars in hidden water damage.

Under-sink leaks are sneaky — they can drip slowly for months inside a dark cabinet, causing extensive damage to the cabinet floor, surrounding drywall, and subfloor before anyone notices the smell or staining. We check every connection point, not just the one you called about, because under-sink plumbing ages together.

How long does sink installation take?▼
A standard sink installation with faucet and drain connections takes 2-3 hours. Complex installations with garbage disposal and filtration integration take 3-4 hours.
Can you install an undermount sink in my existing countertop?▼
If the countertop already has the correct cutout, yes. If a new cutout is needed in granite or quartz, a countertop fabricator handles the cutting and we handle the plumbing.
Why does my sink drain smell bad?▼
Bacteria feeding on organic buildup in the drain produces odors. Professional drain cleaning removes the buildup. Regular flushing with hot water and baking soda helps prevent recurrence.
Should I replace the shut-off valves when getting a new sink?▼
Yes, if the current valves are old gate valves or do not close fully. We replace them with reliable quarter-turn ball valves during installation.
Do you install farmhouse sinks?▼
Yes. Farmhouse sinks require cabinet modifications for support. We coordinate the plumbing connections and ensure proper drain alignment with the wall stub-out.
