Sink and Mixer Swaps
New mixers, sink swaps and re-seated wastes, with the water shut at the cupboard stop or the meter. We pressure-test old supply pipe before any new tap goes on.

The Kitchen Jobs We Get
A kitchen packs more plumbing per square metre than any other room. Hot and cold supplies, a waste line, a dishwasher feed and often a gas point all squeeze into one cupboard, so one worn part can show up in three places at once.
Old Pipes, Tight Rows and Clay
Galvanised supply behind the bench
The weatherboard interwar houses rising toward Eildon Hill still feed through original galvanised pipe furred within, so a new mixer on a starved line runs weak and the opening flow after a quiet night runs brown.
Infill rows share walls
Where Council's zoning permits a couple of extra storeys, townhouse kitchens near the Wilston Village shops sit hard against the next unit's laundry, so a builder-grade hose or a flimsy shut-off valve puts someone else's ceiling in play.
Earthenware under the yard
The streets cut from the 1925 Wilston Hill estate carry clay drains laid in short lengths with cement joints, and a kitchen waste line that meets a shifted joint blocks long before the pipe itself fails.
The Kitchen Work We Take On
Whatever needs fixing, the job starts with one question: which part has worn, and what sits behind it? Here is the range we cover on a normal run:
Dishwasher Connections
Feed lines, waste hoses and the air gap set to code, with the standpipe high enough that a full cycle never syphons back into the machine. Every connection gets a clamp check.
Waste Pipes and Traps
Traps, wastes and the run out to the gully cleared, replaced or re-aligned, so the sink empties at full speed and nothing seeps into the cupboard space below.
Under-Sink Shut-Offs
Full-flow stop valves fitted where needle valves have seized or scaled solid, so the kitchen can be isolated for the next repair without turning off water to the whole house.
Gas Cooker Points
Bayonet points and hard-piped cooker runs installed, tested and certified, with the flexible connector behind the cooker checked on every visit because it ages fastest on a kitchen gas line.
Filtered Water Points
Filter taps, chillers and fridge ice-maker lines run off the cold supply, with shut-offs and check valves where the maker calls for them, so a cartridge swap stays a five-minute job.

Common Kitchen Faults
Four faults account for most of the calls we receive from this suburb, and each has a usual cause worth knowing before you ring:
The Dripping Mixer
A worn cartridge or a perished o-ring lets water past a closed handle, and the drip lands in the sink or the cupboard. One visit with the right part stops it.
The Slow Sink
Grease and food scraps line the waste pipe, leaving water standing in the bowl. Clearing the trap usually fixes it; when it does not, the blockage sits further down the line.
The Dishwasher Flood
A split inlet hose or a loose waste clamp lets a whole cycle out under the machine, and the first sign is water at the door. Both are quick swaps.
Discoloured Water
Brown first flow after a night unused points to scaled galvanised supply rather than the tap itself. A pressure test shows whether one section needs replacing or the whole run does.
Why the Small Drips Matter
A kitchen is the busiest wet room in the house, and its pipes run where you cannot see them, which is why small faults there are worth catching early:
Water damage travels down
A failed hose under the sink drips into the cupboard, then the floor, then whatever sits below in a two-storey unit. Caught early it is a washer; left alone it is a ceiling.
Contaminated lines matter
A missing air gap or a worn check valve can let waste water drift back toward the dishwasher or the filter tap. We test the connections that keep the drinking side clean.
Weak flow is a symptom
If the kitchen tap runs slow while the bathroom runs fine, the fault is usually local scale or a half-closed valve, and a quick test narrows it down. Hidden leaks that push the water bill up sit on our leak detection page instead.

Questions About the Kitchen
Call (07) 3524 7117Does Urban Utilities own any of the pipes under my kitchen?
Urban Utilities keeps the street mains and the public connection in repair; the pipes from that point back toward your place, kitchen taps included, are yours, which is where our work sits.
Why does the kitchen tap run brown in an older Wilston house?
Water left standing overnight picks up colour from galvanised pipe scaled up inside, common in the weatherboard interwar homes on the Eildon Hill slopes, and testing shows whether one section or the full run needs replacing.
Can a dishwasher leak reach a neighbour in a Wilston townhouse?
It can: the infill rows near Wilston Village share wall cavities, so a burst hose upstairs runs down inside the frame first, and we swap worn feed and waste connectors before the stain shows next door.
Do you install gas cooker points around Wilston?
Yes, gasfitting sits inside our QBCC licence, so we run new bayonet points and cooker lines, test them and certify the work, and we check the flexible connector each visit.
What changes the price of a kitchen plumbing job in Wilston?
Access and pipe condition: a mixer set into a tiled bench, a waste line meeting earthenware laid in short lengths under a 1925 estate street, or scaled supply behind the cupboard all add labour to the quote.
