Kitchen plumbing problems have a habit of showing up at the worst possible time.

Whatever the job, Colin Crowley has been handling kitchen plumbing for Cork homes and businesses for over 20 years. Call 087 947 0505 and we’ll get it sorted.

Common Kitchen Plumbing Problems We Fix
Blocked kitchen sink — Kitchen sinks block up with grease, food debris, and soap build-up over time. If plunging isn’t shifting it, the blockage is usually further down the waste pipe and needs proper clearing. We deal with these regularly across Cork and can usually get to you the same day.
Dripping or leaking tap — A dripping kitchen tap wastes more water than most people realise and usually means a worn cartridge or washer inside the tap body. We’ll replace the internal parts or fit a new tap depending on what makes more sense for the age and condition of the fitting.
Leak under the sink — Leaks under the kitchen sink are often at the waste trap, the flexi hoses connecting the tap, or at push-fit connections that have worked loose over time. Left alone these cause cabinet damage and mould. We find the source and fix it properly rather than just tightening fittings temporarily.
New appliance connection — Dishwashers and washing machines need both a water supply connection and a waste connection to drain correctly. Done wrong, you end up with leaks or drainage problems. We connect new appliances cleanly and check everything is draining as it should before we leave.
Kitchen refit plumbing — If you’re having a new kitchen installed and need the plumbing moved or extended to suit the new layout, we work alongside kitchen fitters across Cork regularly. We handle the pipe rerouting, waste connections, and all the plumbing that needs to be in place before the units go in.
Areas We Cover
We work across Cork city and suburbs including Douglas, Ballincollig, Bishopstown, Blackrock, Mahon, Togher, Wilton, Carrigaline, and surrounding areas. Most kitchen plumbing jobs are attended the same day or next day.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to replace a kitchen tap in Cork? The cost depends on the type of tap and the condition of the existing fittings underneath. A straightforward mixer tap replacement on accessible pipework is typically a quick job. Call us on 087 947 0505 for a clear quote before we start.
Can you connect my new dishwasher or washing machine? Yes. We connect dishwashers and washing machines to both the water supply and the waste drain regularly. It’s worth having it done properly rather than relying on DIY connections, which are a common source of leaks under units.
My kitchen sink is draining slowly but not fully blocked. What causes that? Slow drainage is usually a partial blockage building up in the waste trap or further down the pipe. Grease and food debris are the most common culprits in kitchen sinks. We can clear it fully so it drains properly rather than getting progressively worse.
Do you do plumbing for kitchen refits in Cork? Yes. We work with homeowners and kitchen fitters across Cork on new kitchen installations. We handle all the plumbing before the units go in including moving existing pipes, adding new supplies, and connecting sinks and appliances once the kitchen is fitted.
Is a dripping tap worth fixing or should I just replace it? A dripping tap on a relatively modern fitting is usually worth repairing. If the tap is old, corroded, or the internals are worn beyond a simple cartridge replacement, fitting a new tap often makes more sense long-term. We’ll give you an honest opinion on the day.
How quickly can you get to me for a kitchen plumbing problem in Cork? For most jobs across Cork city and suburbs we aim for same day or next day. If there’s an active leak, call 087 947 0505 directly and we’ll prioritise getting to you.
