Reinstall or Repair Your Undermount Sink in Frisco, TX
Undermount sinks are sleek, sophisticated, and seamless. With a wide variety of customization options, they allow homeowners to craft the look and feel of the kitchen for a timeless and effortless appearance. The only problem is, if they weren’t installed properly, they can start to sag over time—or worse, fall out entirely. And because the countertop will usually have been cut and polished for that specific sink, sometimes your only option is then to reinstall.
Thankfully, the team at Earl’s Plumbing has extensive experience reattaching fallen undermount sinks and securing them for the long haul. Every truck carries the specific types of specialty tools, sealants, and fittings required to get the job done right. We’ll make sure your unique sink is well-supported, connected properly, leak-free, and ready to operate before we leave!

Undermount sink pros:
- Easy to clean (no crevices for crumbs or dirt to accumulate)
- Streamlined look and feel
- Easily wipe messes straight into the sink from the edge of the countertop
- Can be customized with additional features like drainboards
Undermount sink cons:
- Doesn’t work with all countertop materials (best for marble, granite, or concrete)
- Can take up a lot of storage space underneath your countertop
- Require more support than traditional drop-in sinks
- Are difficult to replace, due to their custom nature
That’s why it’s so important to have a professional plumber complete this job.
- Appliances & Accessories: Various appliances and accessory devices often have to be removed and then reinstalled, adding cost and complexity to a kitchen sink reinstallation. These include the obvious appliance devices like the garbage disposal, but also items such as reverse osmosis spouts, instant hot water dispensers, soap dispensers, dishwasher air gaps, etc. Occasionally the kitchen faucet may also need to be removed and reinstalled. Since undermount sink work involves complete removal and installation of all components, this process is a perfect time to consider upgrading to a better, more powerful, and quieter garbage disposal. Earl’s Plumbing has multiple garbage disposal options for you to consider, or you can provide your own and we will install it for you.
- Water Supply Lines: You have two water supply lines (tubes)—one for hot water and one for cold. These are usually silver wire mesh but can be made of different materials. They deliver water to your faucet.
- Shut-off Valves: All sources of water for faucets (and toilets) should have a functioning shutoff valve at the wall. Because they have a limited lifespan of about 10 years for builder-grade versions, you should be prepared to replace these valves when making major sink repairs or replacements.
- Drain Assembly: The part that allows you to plug the sink (usually featuring a drain strainer) and the P-Trap (the pipe that looks like a “U”). This may be the most important part of your kitchen sink drain plumbing, as it creates a water seal, preventing smelly, noxious sewer gas from entering the home and acting as a line cleaner. Finally, the assembly ends with a tubular drain pipe called a trap arm. This piece extends from the P-Trap and securely connects to the pipe going into the wall, where it connects to the rest of the drainage system.
- Watertight Components: Threaded slip nuts and slip nut washers make everything watertight, and if they’re not properly installed, end up causing the majority of leaks under sinks. Far too often, people install silicone, caulk, pipe dope, plumbers putty, leak tape, or all sorts of other quick fixes around these areas. Not only are these materials unnecessary when sinks are installed correctly, but using them is also not good plumbing practice.
