Campervan Sinks & Taps Specialists

A slow water leak is a van-killer. While a DIY sink install seems straightforward, a single poorly sealed joint hidden behind a cabinet can silently rot your plywood floor and structure. Professionals mitigate this risk by pressure-testing the entire system before handover, a critical step most DIY builders skip. They also understand the nuances of 12V water systems, correctly sizing pumps, wiring, and pipework to avoid the constant, annoying cycling of a pump. This means you get consistent water flow and a quiet system. In practice, a professional installation buys you peace of mind against the most common cause of catastrophic build failure: hidden water damage.

When vetting a specialist, ask to see photos of their plumbing work before it is boxed in. Look for neat, well-supported pipe runs, not a chaotic tangle of hoses. Ask them specifically what fittings they use; John Guest push-fit connectors are more reliable for vehicle applications than standard hose clips. A key question is whether they fit an accumulator tank, which smooths out water flow and reduces pump wear. A blank stare is a major red flag. They must also have a clear process for pressure testing and for venting the grey water tank to prevent glugging sounds and bad odours from backing up into your living space.

For most van builds, a complete sink, tap, pump, and waste system takes one to three days to fit properly. Expect to pay between £800 and £2,500, with the higher end reflecting systems that include hot water heaters. This investment ensures the job is done right the first time.
