Kitchen sink problems we fix in Warrenville
A new kitchen sink is part fit, part plumbing. In Warrenville we check the counter cutout and the cabinet below, mount the bowl so it stays put, and our licensed plumbers reconnect the drain, disposal, dishwasher and faucet.
Wanting a farmhouse sink
Farmhouse sinks are heavy, especially fireclay and cast iron. We frame a support inside the cabinet, trim the face and set the sink level with the counters.
Chipped or stained porcelain sink
When the finish on a cast-iron or porcelain sink is worn through, it won't come back. A new bowl is quicker than chasing repairs.
Faucet holes don't match the new faucet
We plan the faucet, sprayer, soap dispenser and any filtered-water tap together, so the holes and the sink line up.
Sink installed with the counter replacement
New countertops are the best time for a new sink. We coordinate the cutout with the fabricator and do the hookup after install.
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.
New sink doesn't match the counter cutout
Before you buy, we check the existing cutout and the cabinet width. That avoids a sink that overhangs, shows gaps or won't drop in.
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.

Kitchen Sink Installation & Replacement questions from Warrenville homeowners
Can you reuse my old faucet and disposal?
Often. We check whether the faucet suits the new hole layout and whether the disposal mounts to the new flange.
What size sink fits my cabinet?
Measure the sink base, not the old sink. We check the inside width and depth so the new bowl and its clips fit.
Who would you call to install a new sink?
For a straight swap, a plumber. If the counter or cabinet changes too, a crew that handles both saves a second visit.
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 new kitchen sink installation cost?
A drop-in swap and a farmhouse conversion are very different jobs. After we measure, you get a line-item estimate.
