Sink installation and repair in Worcester
Kitchen, bath, and laundry sinks — new bowls, leaking traps, and the basket strainers that drip into the cabinet. Roto-Rooter sets the sink you buy and repairs the one you have. Call or text (508) 335-3306.
Sinks we work on and what fails
The bowl is only half the job. The trap, stops, and the cutout in the counter decide how the visit goes.
Bath
- Vanity top bowl set
- Pop-up drain leak
- Pedestal supply rough-in
- Cracked vitreous china
Laundry
- Utility tub swap
- Standpipe tie-in
- Faucet deck leak
- Cracked plastic laundry tub
Traps
- Loose slip-joint nut
- Corroded trap arm
- S-trap or wrong pitch
- Sewer gas at the cabinet
Fit the bowl to the cabinet, then make the drain honest
A new kitchen sink is a plumbing job and a cutout job. We check the existing hole, the faucet holes (1, 3, or 4), and whether a disposal or dishwasher already ties in. Undermounts need a counter that can take clips; a particleboard top that is already swollen from a leak may need more than a new bowl.
You pick the sink. Faucet labor is posted separately at $200 if we are hanging a new faucet on the same visit — see faucets. Older homes here often have trap arms that are not where a modern vanity expects them. We adapt the drain instead of leaving you a gap and a prayer.
Labor and materials
Sink installs and trap repairs are quoted on site. The bowl, clips, strainer, and trap kit are materials you supply. If the cabinet floor is rotted from a long leak, say so when you book — that is extra work, not a surprise add-on after the sink is in.
Call or text (508) 335-3306 with kitchen vs. bath and whether the sink is already in the house.
Keep the cabinet dry
- A slow drip at a slip nut soaks particleboard for months before you smell it. Look with a flashlight twice a year.
- Do not overtighten plastic trap nuts. Cracked nuts leak worse than snug ones.
- If you add a disposal, the trap layout changes. Plan that before you buy an undermount with no room for the can.
- Sewer smell under the sink is often a dried trap or a failed gasket, not “the city sewer.”
Frequently asked questions
Can you install an undermount in my existing counter?
If the counter is stone or a solid surface in good shape, usually yes. Swollen laminate or particleboard may not hold clips. We will say so before we cut.
The sink is clogged, not leaking.
That is sink drain cleaning. This page is the bowl, trap, and hookups.
Do you supply the sink?
You pick it. Bring it home or have it delivered. We can pick one up and bill it at cost if you want us to source it.
Will you install the faucet at the same time?
Yes. Faucet install is $200 labor when it is a standard set. Tell us when you book so we bring the right supply lines.
