Install a Bathroom Sink

Whether your sink is damaged or you're just looking for an update, replacing a drop in bathroom sink is easy.

 

1. The first step is to get the old sink out! Turn off the water supply under the sink and disconnect the supply lines and the sink trap.

2. Use a utility knife to cut through the sealant around the rim of the sink.

3. Lift the sink off the countertop.

4. Use some white vinegar and a non-abrasive scrubber to remove any sealant left around the sink. If it's really stubborn you may need a putty knife.

5. Install your new drain assembly and faucet before you drop in your new sink. If you need more information on removing or installing a faucet, be sure to check the plumbing category on the website.

6. Apply a bead of good quality silicone caulk around the sink cutout.

7. Set the sink and press gently to make a nice seal.

8. If your sink has clips under it you'll need to tighten them in place.

9. Once the sink is installed, use some silicone caulk to seal the outer rim.

10. Then all that's left to do is reconnect the supply lines and the drain, and then turn the water back on!
