Professional Sink Installation in Houston

Vanity, pedestal, farmhouse, vessel, undermount, and console sinks are just a few of the choices available today. Whether you are updating a kitchen, remodeling a bathroom, or replacing a sink that is cracked or worn out, a professional installation makes sure your new sink drains properly, stays sealed, and does not leak into your cabinets.

Nick's Plumbing & Air Conditioning has provided sink installation in Houston since 1979. Our licensed plumbers install kitchen, bathroom, bar, and utility sinks of every style, with fully stocked trucks so most jobs are finished in a single visit.

Types of Sinks We Install

• Undermount sinks - Mounted beneath stone or solid surface countertops for a seamless look that is easy to wipe clean
• Drop-in sinks - Also called top-mount sinks, with a rim that rests on the countertop
• Farmhouse sinks - Deep, apron-front kitchen sinks that often need a custom cabinet
• Vessel sinks - Bowls that sit on top of a bathroom vanity, paired with a tall faucet
• Pedestal and console sinks - Freestanding bathroom sinks that work well in smaller spaces
• Utility and bar sinks - For laundry rooms, garages, and entertaining areas

What to Consider Before Installing a New Sink

Basin Depth

A deeper sink holds more dishes, but the drain still has to reach the trap and the drain line in the wall. If a sink is too deep, the drain can sit too low to slope properly. This is especially common when adding a garbage disposal. We check the drain height before you buy.

Faucet Holes

Sinks and countertops come with one, two, three, or four holes for the faucet, sprayer, soap dispenser, or air gap. Make sure your new sink and faucet match, or plan for a deck plate to cover extra holes.

Cutout Size

When replacing a drop-in sink without replacing the countertop, the new sink must completely cover the old cutout. Undermount sinks need a countertop made for them. Bring us your sink measurements and we will confirm the fit.

The Cabinet Underneath

Years of small leaks can soften and swell particleboard cabinets and laminate countertops. We check the cabinet floor and countertop for water damage while the old sink is out so the new sink has a solid base.

Our Sink Installation Process

1. Shut off and disconnect - We turn off the water and disconnect the faucet, drain, and any garbage disposal
2. Remove the old sink - We carefully remove the old sink and clean the old sealant from the countertop
3. Prepare the new sink - We mount the faucet and drain assembly and check the fit
4. Set and seal - We set the sink and seal it with the right sealant for your sink and countertop
5. Connect - We connect a new P-trap, supply lines, and your disposal or dishwasher drain
6. Test - We run water, check every connection for leaks, and confirm the sink drains properly

Signs It Is Time to Replace Your Sink

• Visible wear - Cracks, chips, rust, stains, or worn finishes that no longer clean up
• Constant repairs - Recurring leaks or drain problems even after repairs
• An outdated look - A sink that no longer fits your kitchen or bathroom style
• A remodel or new countertop - New countertops are the perfect time to upgrade your sink

Upgrading your faucet too? See our faucet installation service. Adding a disposal? Ask about garbage disposal installation. If your current faucet is dripping, our leaky faucet repair team can help, and for water under the sink, start with water leak repair.

Sink Installation Cost in Houston

Sink installation at Nick's Plumbing starts at $400, with most jobs in the $400-$750 range. This price does not include the sink. Undermount and farmhouse sinks, garbage disposals, new shutoff valves, and changes to the drain or water lines can increase the cost.

Online prices are a planning guide, not a final quote. We confirm the scope and price before any work begins, and we stand behind our work and the parts we install.
