Our Sink Repair Services

Sinks should be thought of like a machine. They use a variety of parts and devices that work together for the functionality of a single sink. For example, a kitchen sink might involve as many as six separate systems just to provide the overall service we expect. 

Like any machine, a sink has multiple parts that need maintenance and repair over time. That’s why our sink repair plumbers thoroughly inspect all components of your sink to identify the issue(s) and determine the best long-term solution. 

No matter the problem, we can repair all aspects of your sink, including:

• Plumbing
• Faucets
• Fixtures
• Garbage disposal
• Drain
• Water heaters
• Leaks
• Cracks
• Clogs

Should You Repair or Replace a Broken Sink?

Most sink issues are repairable. If a sink is properly taken care of, it can last for years and may only need replacement once a kitchen is renovated. However, some instances require a sink to be replaced. Cosmetic damage is acceptable if it doesn’t impede the functionality of a sink. However, damage such as deep cracks might require a sink replacement.

Reasons to replace a sink might include:

• Cracks
• Corrosion
• Stains
• Remodeling

If you’re replacing a sink, you need the help of a professional from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. We’ll come to your home, examine your sink, and suggest a worthy replacement for you. Importantly, we’re experts with retrofitting, so you can be certain the replacement will fit seamlessly with your current counters!

Sink Repair FAQs

Why is my sink not draining?

Some common reasons why your sink isn’t draining include:

• Solidified grease and fats
• Damaging chemicals or cleaners
• Hair buildup 
• Dirt and debris buildup
• Blocked external drains
• Damaged or broken P-trap 

Most often the issue is a clog due to inappropriate food items being sent down the drain. If this isn’t the issue, however, and unclogging or cleaning your drain doesn’t fix your sink, call our plumbers for help. 

Can you tell me how to fix a leaky sink?

If your faucet is leaking, try tightening the fittings and faucet connection first. Next, you can try cleaning the aerator with vinegar. 

If the leak is below the sink, try tightening the fittings below. If this doesn’t work, or you spot any corrosion or damage, it’s likely a larger plumbing issue brewing. Call our experts at your local Benjamin Franklin Plumbing to determine the cause of the leak and provide repair services. 

Can you tell me how to fix a cracked sink?

It depends on how severely cracked the sink is. If it’s a minor, hairline crack or chip:

1. Clean the sink.
2. Sand the damaged area if necessary.
3. Apply a repair epoxy.
4. Let it dry and sand to blend it.

If you have a more severe crack or damage near the base of your sink, call our plumbing professionals for repair. We’ll make sure that your sink is repaired properly and suggest replacement if needed. 

Why does my sink gurgle?

A gurgling sink usually means there’s air trapped inside the drain. This can be caused by:

• A clog (grease, dirt, debris, hair, etc.)
• Buildup in the P-trap
• Sewer line blockage
• Vent pipe issues or damage

Most clogs can be cleared using these simple DIY tips. If the gurgling continues despite clearing your drain, call our plumbing experts for repair.
