Installing a bathroom vanity sink is a pretty painless task. You could hire a contractor, but you may want to ask yourself if it’s worth the extra money if you have a few free hours to do it yourself.
First, measure your old vanity – depth, width, and height. This will be important when it comes time to purchase a new one.
Next you will need to undo any screws or nails that may be holding the old vanity to the wall, if there are any. Then you will need a knife or small blade, like an Exacto knife, to cut away the old caulk around the sink attaching it to the wall. Before using your muscles to possibly pull the old vanity from its position, check the plumbing beneath the cabinet, as you do not want to break any pipes in your removal process. You may also want to turn off the water valve, just in case.
Depending upon how long your old vanity has been in place, you may need to be prepared to do a bit of touch up painting to your wall before you begin the process of installing your new vanity.
Many of the large retail stores do carry a selection of bathroom vanity sinks. However, your choice could be limited as they cannot possibly carry all the different manufacturers’ products. Internet shopping provides online retailers with more virtual space and the ability to offer a wider variety of discount bathroom vanity sinks as they don’t necessarily need to worry about housing inventory.
In your quest for a new fixture, you may want to look for a matching linen cabinet or wall unit to enhance your new bathroom vanity sink.
Installing your new bathroom vanity sink will be easy now that you have removed it. Once you have chosen one that fits your measurements, simply put the new bathroom vanity sink in its place. Slide it in and clean up around your area, and voila, your work is complete!
