Sink Repair Kamloops
Clogs, leaks, garburators, and broken faucets. Kitchen and bath.
Need sink, faucet & fixture repair in Kamloops?
Sink repair in Kamloops covers a lot more than a dripping tap. We fix clogged sink drains, leaks under the basin, jammed garburators, corroded supply lines, and faucets that will not shut off, in kitchens and bathrooms across the city. Most jobs are same day.
Hard water is the common thread here. Kamloops water leaves scale on aerators, eats faucet cartridges, and crusts up shutoff valves until they seize. A slow kitchen sink or a faucet that drips no matter how hard you crank it is usually a worn part, not a lost cause, and a repair costs a fraction of a full replacement.
We also handle toilets, shower valves, and full fixture swaps. If your sink, faucet, or toilet is past saving, we will tell you straight and quote the replacement before any work starts.

Sink problems we get called for most in Kamloops
The single most common sink call is a slow or fully blocked kitchen drain. Grease plus hard-water scale narrows the trap arm over months until water backs up. We clear it mechanically rather than dumping caustic chemicals down a line that may already be corroded. If your sink keeps clogging, the fix is usually proper drain cleaning of the trap arm, not another bottle of drain opener.
Leaks under the basin are second. A drip from the trap, the supply line, or the faucet base soaks the cabinet floor and breeds mould before you notice. We trace it to the source, because a wet cabinet is not always the part you think. When the leak is hidden in the wall stub or the line behind the cabinet, that crosses into leak detection territory and we bring the right tools.
Then there is the faucet that drips no matter how hard you turn it. In Kamloops that is almost always a cartridge chewed up by hard water, not a bad faucet. A cartridge swap takes one visit and saves the cost of a new faucet.
Why Kamloops water is hard on sinks and faucets
Kamloops draws hard, mineral-heavy water, and sinks take the brunt of it. Scale coats aerators so flow drops, crusts inside cartridges so taps weep, and cements shutoff valves so they seize the one time you need to close them. You can read what is actually in the supply in our breakdown of what is in Kamloops tap water.
Older neighbourhoods feel it first. Galvanised and early-copper sink branches in 1950s and 1960s North Kamloops and South Shore homes corrode at the trap and the wall stub, and that is where slow leaks start. We handle sink repair Kamloops wide, from new Aberdeen builds to century-old downtown houses, and we match the fix to the age of the plumbing.
Pricing
Typical pricing for sink, faucet & fixture repair in Kamloops: $120 to $450 depending on the fault and the fixture. We quote you the actual price before we start work, so there are no surprises on the bill.
How quickly can we get there?
Typical response time: Same day or next day. For genuine emergencies (active flooding, sewage backup, no water at all), we prioritize dispatch and get a plumber heading your way as fast as we can.
Kamloops factors that affect this repair
- Hard water scale builds on aerators and inside faucet cartridges, so Sahali and Aberdeen taps drip years before the faucet body wears out
- Mineral crust seizes under-sink shutoff valves on older North Kamloops homes, which turns a simple faucet swap into a valve replacement
- Galvanised and early-copper sink supply branches in 1950s and 1960s South Shore homes corrode at the trap and the wall stub
- Garburators on well-used kitchen sinks across Brocklehurst and Westsyde jam on hard-water grit, then trip the reset
- Slow double-bowl kitchen drains usually point to grease and scale in the shared trap arm, not the basket strainer

Questions Kamloops homeowners ask us
How much does sink repair cost in Kamloops?
Most sink repairs land between $120 and $450. A clogged trap or a worn faucet cartridge is at the low end. A seized shutoff valve, a corroded supply line, or a full faucet and drain replacement runs higher. We quote the real number before we start, so the bill matches the estimate.
Should I repair or replace my sink?
If the basin is sound and only the faucet, drain, or supply line has failed, repair is almost always cheaper and faster. We replace the basin when it is cracked, rusted through at the drain, or when a kitchen remodel is already changing the counter. We give you the honest call, not the expensive one.
Do you fix garburators and garbage disposals?
Yes. We clear jams, reset tripped units, replace failed disposals, and swap brands like InSinkErator and Waste King. If the motor is gone we quote a new unit and install it the same visit when we have the part on the truck.
My double kitchen sink drains slow on both sides. What is that?
When both bowls drain slowly, the clog is past the tee in the shared trap arm, not in either basket. We snake the trap arm and check the vent. Hard-water grease buildup is the usual cause in Kamloops kitchens.
Can you come out the same day?
Most Kamloops sink and faucet calls get booked the same day you call. Phones are answered Monday to Friday 8 to 6 and Saturday 9 to 3. After hours go to voicemail and we call back the next business morning.
