Blocked Sink Drain Repairs by Licensed Brisbane Plumbers
A slow-draining or completely blocked sink can grind your household or business to a standstill. Whether it’s the kitchen, bathroom, or laundry, when the water won’t go down, frustration sets in fast. At Weekend Plumbing Co., we’re here to get your blocked sink drain flowing freely again, with fast, effective, and affordable service anywhere in Brisbane.
Are These Drainage Issues Happening in Your Sink?
- Sink water taking too long to drain or not draining at all
- Unpleasant smells coming up from the drain
- Bubbling or gurgling noises when water flows
- Water collecting around the drain opening
- Blockages that keep coming back even after clearing
These are common indicators of a blocked sink and the sooner it’s dealt with, the better. Left unchecked, a blockage can escalate into a major plumbing issue.
We Clear Blocked Sinks Quickly and Safely
Clearing a blocked sink isn’t just about getting the water moving again, it’s about stopping the problem from coming back. That’s why we go deeper than the average fix. Using high-resolution CCTV drain cameras and advanced locating tools, our plumbers will diagnose exactly where and why your blockage is happening. From there, we apply targeted cleaning or repairs so your sink stays clear long after we leave.
Blocked Sink? It’s One of the Most Common Plumbing Issues
Sinks are one of the most used fixtures in any home or workplace. And unfortunately, that also makes them one of the most prone to clogs. Many customers ignore the early warning signs until they’re facing a full backup, overflowing water, or even property damage.
Blocked sinks can lead to:
- Internal flooding
- Structural or cabinetry damage
- Foul smells and bacteria buildup
- Disruption to daily life or business operations
Recognising the Warning Signs
If you notice any of these red flags, it’s time to get professional help:
- Water draining slowly or not at all
- Bad smells rising from the sink
- Strange gurgling or bubbling sounds
- Overflowing or backflow issues
- Repeated need to use drain cleaner or plungers
These signs often point to a blockage deeper in the system, which DIY methods typically can't reach or resolve permanently.

Blocked Sink Drain FAQs
-
Sink blockages usually happen due to a buildup of grease, food scraps, soap scum, or hair. Over time, these materials collect inside the pipe and restrict water flow.
-
A slow-draining sink often clears after a short delay, while a fully blocked sink won’t drain at all. Gurgling noises and bad smells are also signs of a worsening blockage.
-
While you can try a plunger or baking soda and vinegar mix, recurring or stubborn clogs usually need professional equipment to fully clear the blockage and prevent it from coming back.
-
Most bathroom sink replacements are completed in a single visit, typically within 1–3 hours depending on complexity.
-
For an accurate, upfront, and fixed-price quote, an on-site inspection is required. The cost to fix a blocked sink varies significantly based on the severity of the blockage and the method needed for resolution.

I had Tom from Weekend Plumbing Co. come out this morning, and I couldn’t be happier. From the moment I booked the appointment, the communication was smooth and friendly. Tom arrived on time, was professional, and took the time to explain what needed to be done before getting started. The quality of the work was excellent — efficient, thorough, and tidy. I would definitely recommend Weekend Plumbing Co. to anyone looking for reliable and top-notch plumbing service!

Tom came out to assess our blocked kitchen drains, he went above and beyond to ensure the sink was draining before he left. Even though we couldn’t afford the whole works required today, the quote was reasonable but out of my budget this week - he went to work with his plunger and made sure the sink was draining to see us through the next couple of weeks until we book in for repairs and maintenance. Really polite and punctual, highly recommend this business, especially grateful for Tom’s help today!
