Plumbing & Water

Kitchen & Bathroom Plumbing

Professional kitchen and bathroom plumbing — from new taps and sinks to toilets, showers, baths and everything that connects them.

Kitchens and bathrooms are the rooms where plumbing matters most — they're where you rely on clean water in and waste water out, every single day. Adrian provides kitchen and bathroom plumbing for homeowners across Grays and nearby areas, whether you're fitting a brand-new bathroom, replacing a kitchen sink, or dealing with a tap that won't stop dripping. With over 20 years' experience, Adrian handles everything from a straightforward tap swap to a full bathroom re-plumb, making sure every connection is sound, watertight and built to last.

What kitchen and bathroom plumbing includes

This service covers all the plumbing work involved in fitting, replacing and repairing the fixtures and pipework in your kitchen and bathroom. That includes:

• Installation and replacement of kitchen sinks, including waste connections and water supply
• Fitting and replacing bathroom and kitchen taps — mixer taps, pillar taps, monobloc taps and filtered-water taps
• Toilet installation, replacement and repositioning, including soil pipe and cistern connections
• Shower installation and replacement — electric showers, mixer showers and shower towers
• Bath installation and replacement, including waste, overflow and supply connections
• Basin and pedestal installation, including semi-recessed and wall-hung basins
• Washing machine and dishwasher plumbing — water supply and waste connections
• Installation of kitchen waste disposal units and water-filter systems
• Replacement of old or corroded supply pipework feeding kitchen and bathroom fixtures
• Waste pipe installation and modification — including bottle traps, P-traps and S-traps

Kitchen plumbing in detail

Kitchen plumbing work ranges from simple tap replacements to full sink and waste installations. If you're renovating your kitchen, Adrian can handle the plumbing side of the project — connecting your sink, dishwasher, washing machine and any filtered-water or instant-hot-water taps. He also replaces leaking waste pipes, corroded isolation valves and old flexible connectors that are past their best. Every connection is tested before sign-off so you can be confident there are no slow leaks hiding under the sink.

Bathroom plumbing in detail

Bathroom plumbing is more involved than many people expect, because it brings together hot and cold water supply, waste removal, and sometimes electrical connections for showers and pumps. Adrian installs and replaces baths, basins, toilets, showers and exposed/concealed shower valves. If you're having a new bathroom fitted, Adrian can take care of the first-fix pipework — running supply and waste pipes to the right positions before the room is tiled and finished — and then return for the second fix to connect the fixtures. He also re-plumbs existing bathrooms where old pipework has corroded or where fixtures are being repositioned.

Common reasons homeowners need kitchen or bathroom plumbing

Most kitchen and bathroom plumbing work falls into one of two categories: a renovation or upgrade, or a repair to something that's stopped working properly. Here are the most common reasons homeowners get in touch:

• You're renovating your kitchen or bathroom and need the plumbing done to suit the new layout
• A tap is dripping, stiff, or has lost pressure and needs replacing
• Your toilet is running continuously, leaking at the base, or not flushing properly
• You're replacing an old bath or shower with a new unit
• A sink, basin or bath is draining slowly or not at all due to a waste-pipe issue
• You're adding a new fixture — such as a second basin or an outdoor tap — and need new pipework run
• Old pipework under the sink or behind the toilet is corroded and starting to leak
• You've had a new kitchen or bathroom fitted by a builder and need a plumber to handle the connections
• A flexible connector or isolation valve has failed and is causing a leak

Why kitchen and bathroom plumbing should be done properly

Plumbing work in kitchens and bathrooms involves water under mains pressure and waste pipes that need correct falls and seals. A poorly made connection can leak slowly for weeks before you notice — by which point water may have damaged cabinets, floors or ceilings below. Adrian has over 20 years' experience and takes care to make every joint properly, using the right materials for the job. After installation or repair, every connection is tested before sign-off. Where a job involves a gas connection — for example, a gas hob in a new kitchen — Adrian is Gas Safe registered and can handle that work too, so you don't need a separate engineer.

• All kitchen and bathroom plumbing is carried out by an experienced plumber with over 20 years' experience
• Every connection is tested for leaks before sign-off
• Correct materials are used for each job — copper, plastic, push-fit or compression as appropriate
• Where gas work is needed in a kitchen, Adrian is Gas Safe registered and can handle it
• Adrian leaves the work area clean and tidy after the job is done

How the process works

What you can prepare

To help the job go smoothly, please have the following ready before Adrian arrives:

• Details of the fixtures involved — make and model if you have them, especially for taps, showers and toilets
• If you're renovating, let Adrian know whether the room is stripped out or still in use
• Clear access to the area — remove items from under sinks, around the toilet, or in bathroom cabinets
• Access to your main water stopcock so the supply can be isolated if needed
• If you've bought new fixtures yourself, have them unpacked and ready if possible
• For bathroom renovations, an idea of your preferred layout — Adrian can advise on what's practical
