Kitchen sink problems we fix in Bolingbrook
Swapping a sink looks simple until the new bowl doesn't match the cutout or the drain lands in the wrong spot. Our Bolingbrook crew measures first, then sets the sink and has a licensed plumber hook up the drain and supplies.
Dated sink in an otherwise good kitchen
Not every update needs new counters. A new sink and faucet change how the kitchen looks and works in a day.
Double bowl too small for big pans
If nothing big fits flat in either side, a single-bowl sink solves it. We adjust the trap and tailpiece for the new drain position.
Chipped or stained porcelain sink
Rust spots and chips in an old porcelain bowl only get worse. We remove it and install a stainless, composite or fireclay sink in its place.
Undermount sink pulling away from the counter
Undermount sinks hang from the countertop. When the anchors let go, we clean the old sealant off, refasten the bowl and run a fresh bead of silicone.
New sink doesn't match the counter cutout
A stone cutout can be enlarged by a fabricator but never made smaller. We measure the opening first so the new sink fits it.
Strainer or drain leaking
Drips below the drain opening come from a worn basket strainer seal. New strainers bedded in putty or a gasket are part of every sink we set.
Sink installed with the counter replacement
If new stone is going in, the sink usually goes to the fabricator for the cutout. We set it and reconnect the plumbing once the tops are down.

Kitchen Sink Installation & Replacement questions from Bolingbrook homeowners
Can a fallen undermount sink be reattached?
Yes. Remounting with new hardware and adhesive is a repair visit, not a reason for new counters.
Who would you call to install a new sink?
A plumber, or a company like ours that does both the fitting and the plumbing. That way one crew handles the cutout, the mounting and the hookups.
Can you install a sink I bought myself?
Yes, and we'll tell you up front if anything about the sink makes it a tricky fit.
How long does a sink replacement take?
Usually one visit for a drop-in, sometimes a return visit for an undermount after the bond cures.
What does a farmhouse sink need?
An apron-front sink base or a cut-down existing one, plus framing to carry the sink.
