Sink Repairs
We clear choked wastes, reseal leaking collars and swap corroded traps, which stops the slow drip under the cabinet before it reaches the floor or the storey under it.

Kitchen Jobs We Take
A slow sink, a weeping hose or a dishwasher that will not drain all land on this page, along with what each job involves before you commit.
What makes kitchens different here: the census puts nearly a quarter of dwellings in units and apartments, so a leak under one sink often sits directly above someone else's ceiling. Salt air reaches well past the beach. The breeze off the bay works into brass tapware and the fittings under older timber floors, so mixers and valves age faster than the same parts inland. The new builds came up fast. Blocks thrown up since about 2019 carry braided hoses and plastic isolation valves fitted in volume, and those fittings tend to be the first to let go.
Core Services
Our kitchen work covers the six jobs that come up most in this suburb's homes:
Mixer Tap Service
We replace cartridges, o-rings and worn spouts in place, and when salt has eaten a body beyond saving, we quote the replacement tap with the labour shown.
Dishwasher Connections
We run the water and drain points, mount the machine level and test the fill and drain cycles, so a new dishwasher goes in without guesswork on the connections.
Flexi Hose and Valve Work
We replace braided hoses and plastic isolation valves with quality gear, which is the simplest protection a kitchen cabinet gets in a coastal unit near the water.
Waste and Trap Renewal
We cut out corroded S and P traps and reseat the joints properly, so the cabinet stays dry and the waste line keeps its seal against sewer air coming back.
Renovation Rough-ins
We replumb sinks, reposition drain points and set the gas for new cooktops during renovations, and we cost the whole job in the fixed quote before any demo work starts.

Common Kitchen Problems
Four faults cover most of the kitchen calls we take:
The Slow Sink
Grease and fat from cooking pack the trap and branch line, and in older homes the joints admit silt, so we clear the line and check the fall before quoting any renewal.
The Dripping Mixer
A worn cartridge or a hardened o-ring lets water past the swivel joint, and the fix is usually a parts swap in one visit rather than a whole new tap.
The Dishwasher That Will Not Drain
A kinked hose, a blocked air gap or a grease-packed connection holds the water in the tub, and we trace the fault from the machine back to the sink waste.
The Wet Cabinet Floor
A loose compression joint or a split braided hose beneath the sink can drip unnoticed for weeks, and inside a unit block that moisture drains directly toward the flat below.
Why Kitchen Work Matters
A small leak costs more in a stacked building
Census figures put 23.7 per cent of dwellings here in flats and apartments, so the cabinet you rarely open sits above someone else's lounge more often than it does inland.
Diagnosis beats guessing
A slow drain can be grease, a root intrusion or a collapsed joint further down, and the price changes with each, so we find the fault before quoting the fix.
Salt shortens the life of everything shiny
Brass tapware, chrome traps and unprotected copper under timber floors all corrode years early near the bay, so quality replacements last longer here than budget gear.

Kitchen Questions From Margate Homes
Call (07) 3067 4274Why does my kitchen sink drain slowly in a Margate unit?
Cooking fats cool and harden inside the sink trap and further down the branch line, and aged joints let silt in as well, so we clear the blockage and check what any renewal would need.
Can a leaking under-sink hose damage the apartment below mine?
It can, since a split hose under the cabinet pours water straight through the floor, so we isolate the supply, fit a quality replacement and check the valves around it.
Does Unitywater own the pipes under my kitchen sink?
Unitywater looks after the public mains in the roadway, but everything from your boundary to the sink belongs to you, which makes a kitchen leak on your own land the owner's responsibility.
Should I repair or replace a salt-seized kitchen mixer?
A new cartridge usually brings one back, though bay salt eats brass bodies over time, so we price the repair and the replacement and you pick with both figures in front of you.
Can you connect a new dishwasher in an older Margate cottage?
Yes, because a dishwasher needs a water tap point, a drain connection and a level mount, and we inspect the old earthenware branch lines first so the new connection holds.
