FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can you replace in my kitchen or bathroom?
Our team can replace virtually any sink, faucet, tap, trap, or waste assembly found in modern kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, or cloakrooms. This includes undermount, drop-in, pedestal, vessel, wall-hung, and farmhouse sinks, as well as mixer taps, pull-out spray faucets, pop-up wastes, and even specialty fixtures such as pot-fillers or bar sinks. If you are unsure about a particular fixture, simply send us a photo or brand/model number and we can confirm compatibility and scheduling.
How do I know it’s time to replace my sink or faucet instead of repairing it?
Replacement is usually advised when a fixture shows any of the following: (1) persistent leaks or drips even after washer or cartridge changes; (2) significant corrosion, pitting, or cracks in the bowl or spout; (3) outdated plumbing that no longer meets water-efficiency codes; (4) recurring blockages caused by worn-out traps that can’t be fully cleared; or (5) a remodel that requires a different size or style. A short on-site inspection lets us weigh repair versus replacement costs and provide a clear recommendation.
What is the typical turnaround time for a sink replacement in Guild?
For most standard replacements, we can complete the job in one visit lasting 2–4 hours. Complex projects—such as moving pipe locations, installing waste disposers, or cutting into stone countertops—may extend the work to a full day. Once you approve our quotation, we usually schedule you within 3–5 business days, and emergency replacements can be arranged within 24 hours subject to parts availability.
Will I need to supply the new sink and fixtures, or can you source them for me?
You have both options. Many customers prefer to choose a sink and tap themselves to match décor; if so, we just ask that the products be on site before our arrival. Alternatively, we can source quality fixtures through our trade suppliers, often at prices lower than retail, and bring them to your property on installation day. Either way, we will verify all dimensions and connection requirements to avoid surprises.
How much does a standard sink and faucet replacement cost, and what factors affect the price?
In Guild, labour for a straightforward like-for-like swap typically ranges from £140 to £220, excluding materials. The total cost varies with (1) fixture quality and finish; (2) whether new shut-off valves, traps, or hoses are needed; (3) countertop modifications (stone cutting requires a specialist); and (4) access issues such as tight cabinetry. We provide a written, fixed-price quote after inspecting the site, so you know the exact investment before work begins.
Do you provide warranties or guarantees on your plumbing fixture replacement work in Guild?
Yes. All workmanship is covered by a 12-month labour guarantee, meaning we’ll return free of charge if any installation-related issue arises. Most sinks and taps we supply also carry manufacturer warranties ranging from 5 years to a lifetime, which we register on your behalf. We are fully insured and Gas Safe–registered (for kitchen sinks connected to gas hobs), giving you confidence in long-term performance and compliance with local building regulations.
