Tap Installation Bendigo

There may be many different reasons why you would want your tap replaced. Perhaps the old one is leaking and feels a bit wobbly, perhaps your tap is not suited for the sink and you’re like it to be a bit longer, or maybe even extendable. Whatever the circumstances, Plumbing Bendigo team can help you make an educated decision as well as complete the installation. 
To highlight some of the main options, we have created a short list of more popular taps below:

Twin Lever Taps - A bit less popular, but similar to the single lever tap, the twin lever simply has a separate lever for each, cold and hot water. This allows you to be more accurate when controlling the temperature.

Mixer Taps - Back in the days, all the sinks had two taps and hot and cold water were clearly separated. You had an option of freezing cold or burning hot, with nothing in the middle. You could mix water in the sink if you needed to. As you can imagine, this is quite inconvenient. Mixer taps are the most common taps nowadays, which simply means that the hot and cold water are mixed in the same faucet and you control in which ratios they are released, and by that, controlling the water temperature.

Pull Out Spray Taps - Recently becoming more and more popular in residential home kitchens, the pull out tap is borrowed from industrial kitchens. Designed for practicality and efficiency, the pull out spray tap can make hand washing dishes an ease. You can literally extend the tap hose exactly where you need water to go.

Single Lever Taps - Another very common option in households is the single lever taps. It is a mixer tap, where you control the water temperature and pressure by moving a single lever. It is very quick and easy to use, and quickly became more popular than the standard tap handles that you need to turn on and off.

As you can see, there are plenty of options available. We hope this helps you in your decision making process, but if you’d like some further professional tips, get in touch with our team and Plumbing Bendigo and we are happy to help out. We can do the full tap installation for a bargain. 

Sink Installation Bendigo

Sinks can be tiny to fit a compact little bathroom or a toilet, or big and deep to suit a commercial kitchen, and every possible option in between. In any case, the installation process can vary depending on the sink type, for starters, whether it sits on top, or under the counter. Every sink also needs to be properly connected to the tap and the water supply and also to the drainage system that allows for all the excess water to be taken away from the property. Depending on the situation, the complexity of the installation can vary a bit, depending if the existing piping connections fit and reach the new sinks connections. This is not always the case and sometimes these parts need to be replaced and extended as well.
Here are some examples of different types of sinks:

Double Basin Sink - Double basin sinks are great for practical purposes, as the name already states, this type of sink has two basins side by side, allowing you to do multiple tasks at once soaking some dishes in one basin and rinsing grapes in the other. We are all busy in the kitchen, having that flexibility really makes life easier. This setup is great in combination with the pull out spray tap.

​Drainboard Sink - The drainboard is a nice addition to any kitchen sink. Drainboard is the aluminium area next to the sink that guides any excess water back into the sink. Usually, the dish drying rack is placed on the drainboard.

Top Mount Drop In Sink - As the name suggests, these sinks sit on top of the counter. They have a small lip that is sitting on the edges of the hole in the countertop, stopping the sink from falling through the hole. These types of sinks are the most straightforward to install and also more economical to purchase. 

​Undermount Sink - Technically it functions just the same as the top mount sink. The difference is purely in the aesthetics. The undermount sink is attached under the countertop and needs to be perfectly aligned with the cutout from the board.

Whatever your needs or vision is, there is a sink that is perfect for you.
