To install a kitchen sink or tap in Tenerife, you want a provider who can do more than “connect the hoses.” The best services will confirm tap compatibility, check pressure (especially in apartment blocks), replace failing shutoff valves, and pressure-test the finished job so there are no drips—crucial if you manage a holiday rental.

Below are five verifiable options you can contact, followed by a practical guide to choosing the right installer for your home in Tenerife (north or south).

What a proper kitchen sink & tap installation includes (and what it doesn’t)

Many problems happen because “installation” means different things to different providers. Before you book, align on what the job includes.

• Removing the old tap and/or sink (and disposal, if needed).
• Checking shutoff valves and replacing them if they don’t fully close or they seep.
• Installing the new tap with correct fittings (and adapting from 3/8" to 1/2" if required).
• Installing the sink (top-mount, under-mount, or inset) and sealing correctly.
• Connecting hot/cold flexis and the waste trap (siphon) and aligning the drain.
• Testing for leaks under pressure and doing a final drip check after a few minutes.

Common exclusions (always confirm): countertop cut-outs, stone work, cabinet carpentry, electrical work, or fixing pre-existing pipe damage behind the unit.

Pricing in Tenerife: realistic ranges and what drives the cost

Kitchen sink and tap installation costs vary by timing, complexity, and location (for example, access and parking in busy resort areas).

• Simple tap replacement (like-for-like): often ~€60–€150 including call-out, depending on access and fittings.
• Sink replacement (no countertop cutting): often ~€120–€300, depending on sealant work, drain alignment, and disposal.
• “Problem installs” (old valves, seized fittings, low pressure, cabinet damage): commonly add €30–€200+ in parts/labour.

What usually drives the price up:

• Hard-water buildup that has seized threads or clogged aerators (common in South Tenerife).
• Old, unreliable shutoff valves that must be replaced to do the job safely.
• Apartment-block pressure issues that require diagnostics or a pressure-reducing valve check.
• Non-standard fittings, short space under the sink, or hidden leaks in the cabinet base.
• Holiday rental constraints (tight check-in windows, evening visits, documentation needs).

If you’re buying through IKEA Tenerife, they publish specific service rates and conditions for sink and faucet installation. Check the current IKEA Tenerife rates.

South Tenerife specifics: hard water, pressure in blocks, and “no drips” standards

Your notes are spot on: the south often deals with harder water, and many complexes have pressure quirks that show up right after a new tap goes in.

• Tap compatibility: confirm mounting hole diameter, hose connection size (3/8" is common), and whether you need adapters.
• Pressure checks: ask them to measure static and running pressure at the kitchen point, not just “it feels OK.”
• Aerators and filters: hard water can clog aerators quickly; ask how to remove/clean the aerator and whether spares are available.
• Shutoff valves: if valves are old, don’t let them “risk it.” Require replacement if they fail to close fully or drip when reopened.
• Holiday rentals: request a pressure test and a final 10–15 minute observation with paper towel checks under every joint.

Also consider leaving simple caretaker instructions in the property folder: where the shutoffs are, how to clean the aerator, and what to do if a drip appears.

Short checklist: what to prepare before the installer arrives

• Send photos of the current under-sink setup (valves, flexis, trap, cabinet base).
• Send the new tap model link or photo of the box label (connections and max countertop thickness).
• Confirm whether the sink is top-mount, under-mount, or integrated into the worktop.
• Clear the under-sink cabinet completely and place towels down.
• Confirm parking/access rules for your community (barriers, keys, loading bays).
• Ask in advance if they will bring shutoff valves, flexis, and a new siphon “just in case.”

What to ask before booking (5–8 questions)

• Can you confirm tap compatibility (mounting hole size and hose connection size) before arriving?
• Will you check water pressure at the kitchen point, especially in an apartment block?
• If the shutoff valves don’t fully close or fail when reopened, can you replace them the same visit?
• Will you pressure-test and do a final leak check so there are no drips under the sink?
• Do you replace the siphon/trap if it’s old or mismatched to the new sink waste?
• Can you provide a factura with your company details for landlord records or reimbursement?
• What is your call-out fee, and what parts are typically extra (valves, flexis, sealant)?
• Can you share your next available slot and whether you cover my area (e.g., Costa Adeje/Los Cristianos/El Médano)?

How to choose the right installer (and avoid common headaches)

For something as “small” as a tap or sink, the wrong choice can still cause cabinet swelling, downstairs leaks, and unhappy guests. Prioritize process over promises.

• Look for clear scope: removal, installation, valve checks, and leak testing should be explicit.
• Ask for documentation: a factura is normal for professional work, and it protects you in rentals.
• Prefer proactive parts: a good installer anticipates shutoff valves and worn flexis.
• Choose communication: WhatsApp photo checks save time and reduce surprises.
• Be cautious with “too fast” fixes: a rushed job often means poor sealing or skipped tests.

For extra peace of mind, Tenerife trade associations have warned residents to use legally authorised professionals and to request proper accreditation. If someone refuses basic paperwork or won’t provide business details, move on.

If you want to compare multiple verified offers quickly, post one request on MiTenerife, describe your sink/tap model, your location, and whether you need a factura. Then choose the best match for your timeline and budget.
