Dishwasher installation and plumbing
Our licensed plumbers connect, replace and plumb in dishwashers of all makes and models, in homes, rentals and small businesses. These are the dishwasher jobs we’re called for most.
New dishwasher connections
We connect the water supply and the drain hose, fit an isolation valve if there isn’t one, then run the dishwasher and check the connections for leaks.
Dishwasher replacements
We disconnect and remove the old dishwasher, check the isolation valve and flexi hose it was running on, and connect the new one in its place.
A dishwasher where there wasn’t one
No dishwasher point in your kitchen? We install the tap, waste and drain connections needed so the kitchen can take a dishwasher.
Integrated and built-in dishwashers
Integrated and under-bench dishwashers fitted into the cabinetry, including cut-outs in the cabinet sides for the water and drain hoses when the recess doesn’t have them.
Kitchen renovations
Building or renovating? We work with your builder or cabinet maker so the dishwasher plumbing is in the right place before the cabinets go in.
Leaking dishwasher connections
Water under the dishwasher or in the sink cabinet often comes from a worn isolation valve, a loose fitting or a burst or split flexi hose. We find the leak and fix the plumbing.

If your kitchen mixer is worn or leaking, we can replace it at the same visit as the dishwasher.
Commercial dishwashers More →
Dishwasher plumbing for cafes, offices and small businesses, with work booked around your trading hours where possible.
Getting ready for your dishwasher install
A few checks before we arrive make the job quicker. If your old dishwasher is leaking now, turn off its isolation valve under the sink and call us. Our phones are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Before we arrive
- Measure the space against the height, width and depth in the dishwasher’s installation guide.
- Keep the box contents: the installation guide, hoses and brackets that came with the dishwasher.
- Clear the sink cabinet so we can reach the taps and the sink waste.
- Check for a power point within reach of the dishwasher’s cord. A new power point is a job for an electrician.
Signs the old connection needs work
- An isolation valve that’s stiff or won’t turn off
- A rusty, kinked or bulging flexi hose
- Water under the sink or around the dishwasher
- A sink that gurgles when the dishwasher drains
- Dirty water backing up into the sink
- No isolation valve at all
After-hours call-out fees vary based on the day, time and location.

A dishwasher connection that weeps slowly can ruin a cabinet floor before anyone notices. This is how we handle every install.
Licensed plumbers
Every job is done by a licensed plumber, and Tap Doctor is fully licensed and insured.
A firm price before any work starts
Your plumber looks at the space and the connections, explains what’s needed and gives you a firm price. Nothing starts until you agree.
No call-out fee in business hours
You don’t pay for us to turn up and look. If you decide not to go ahead, you owe nothing during business hours.
We call ahead and arrive on time
We confirm your booking, then call before we arrive so you’re not waiting at home all day.
Tools and parts on the van
Our vans carry the tools and common parts for dishwasher installs, so most jobs are finished in one visit.
Pay when the job is done
Cash, card or Osko bank transfer, collected when the work is finished.
How pricing works
What a dishwasher install costs depends on what’s already there. Swapping a dishwasher onto existing connections is a smaller job than adding a new water point and drain to a kitchen that never had one, so instead of guessing over the phone a licensed plumber looks first and agrees a firm price with you on site before any work starts.
No call-out fee in business hours
You only pay for the work you agree to, and there’s no obligation to go ahead. After-hours call-out fees vary based on the day, time and location.
Firm price agreed on site
The price is agreed before we start. If we find something else that needs doing, we quote it before any further work is done.
How you can pay
Cash, credit card or debit card, or bank transfer with Osko for an instant payment. Payment is collected when the job is done.
How to choose a dishwasher installer
Whoever you call, these are the checks worth making before anyone connects your dishwasher. Here’s how we measure up against each one.
What customers say about our dishwasher installs
“Paris came out to install my dishwasher into a dishwasher recess with no cabinetry cut-outs for the water/drain connection to pass through. He was able to really quickly and neatly do some cut-outs and get my dishwasher installed and running.”
“He went above and beyond to make sure our dishwasher was installed smoothly in our new home. His pricing was fair, communication was clear, and the service was top-notch.”
“Tom did an excellent job of plumbing for a dishwasher in an awkward area. Tidied up beautifully.”
“Sam has done a couple of plumbing jobs for us, one being a new flip mixer and today installed our new dishwasher. This job needed a new tap and other stuff. Great job.”
“Very quick service, friendly people and done the job that the makers of the dishwasher refused to do. Thank you for doing a fantastic job.”
“We recently put a dishwasher into our sons old house. Organising the plumbing was easy. Steve was on time, friendly, efficient, tidy and cleaned up after himself.”

Dishwasher installation FAQs
Do I need a plumber to install a dishwasher?
If there’s already a dishwasher tap and drain point in the right place, connecting a new dishwasher is a short job. If a water supply, isolation valve or drain connection has to be added or moved, that’s plumbing work for a licensed plumber.
Can you install a dishwasher where there wasn’t one before?
Yes. We add the water supply, isolation valve and drain connection under the sink so a kitchen that never had a dishwasher can take one. If the cabinet needs cut-outs for the hoses, we do that too.
Do you remove the old dishwasher?
Yes. When you’re replacing a dishwasher, we disconnect and remove the old one before the new one goes in.
Can you install an integrated or built-in dishwasher?
Yes. We fit integrated and built-in dishwashers into the cabinetry and connect the water and drain. If you’re renovating, we can work with your cabinet maker so the plumbing is in the right place.
Does a dishwasher connect to hot or cold water?
Most dishwashers connect to the cold water supply and heat their own water, though some models can take hot. Check the installation guide that came with yours; we connect it the way the manufacturer specifies.
What should I have ready before you arrive?
The dishwasher, its installation guide and the parts that came in the box, a cleared-out sink cabinet so we can reach the taps and waste, and a power point within reach of the dishwasher’s cord.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
It depends on what’s already under your sink, so we don’t guess. A licensed plumber looks at the job and gives you a firm price before any work starts, with no call-out fee during business hours and no obligation.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
Not during business hours. You only pay for the work you agree to. After-hours call-out fees vary based on the day, time and location.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured?
Yes. Every job is done by a licensed plumber, and Tap Doctor is fully licensed and insured.
