Bathroom Sink Replacement Tips

A simple change that can add a drastic impact is a bathroom sink replacement. By taking some time to replace an old sink your bathroom will get a major facelift without having to tear it all out.

Adding in a new sink can change the focal point, a color, or even the theme of the entire bathroom. When replacing your sink there are some tips to remember.

Turn Water off Before Doing Anything
It sounds like a trivial matter, but many forget this very important tip. Turning off the water before you get into any type of plumbing can save you a very watery surprise.

Pry the Sink off Easily
Unless you are ripping out the entire vanity cabinet, then use a caulking dissolvent and gently pry the sink off the cabinet top with a small flat pry bar.

Remove All Old Adhesive with Elbow Grease
Once you lift up the old sink, there will be more adhesive stuck to the countertop. Use some warm water and soap and a flat chisel to scrape the rest of the residue. Be sure you to remove all of it as it can interfere with the installation of the new sink.

Place New Adhesive on Both Sink and Countertop
Your replacement sink will get a much better bond when you place the adhesive to both the sink bottom and the countertop. Place the sink and press in firmly for a strong bond.
