28 Vanity Top With Sink
Whether you need to replace a vanity top with sink or incorporate a new one into a remodel, the process is largely the same. As long as you install the new vanity top with precision, plumbing is the only truly tricky part of the process. You can leave that up to the pros or carefully follow the instructions for plumbing the vanity top with sink yourself.
If you have a little DIY experience under your belt and the right tools, replacing a vanity top with sink is a weekend project you can handle on your own, potentially saving yourself a bundle on the cost of labor. If plumbing makes you break out in a cold sweat, it’s best to leave that part of the job to a professional plumber.
Here's a step-by-step guide, along with tips from professionals, on how to replace a vanity top with sink:
1. Remove the old vanity top with sink.
Disconnect the water supply lines to the sink, and remove the nuts holding the faucet in place. Lift the old vanity top free of the vanity cabinet. If the vanity top is too heavy to lift on your own, recruit a helper.
2. Clean the vanity cabinet.
Remove any dirt or debris from the vanity cabinet. With a damp sponge, wipe away any residue left over from the old vanity top. Allow the vanity cabinet to dry completely before proceeding.
3. Install the new vanity top.
Carefully lift the new vanity top into place on the vanity cabinet. Make sure the backsplash of the vanity top is flush against the wall. Use a level to ensure the vanity top is level from front to back and side to side.
4. Install the sink.
Apply a bead of silicone caulk around the rim of the sink opening in the vanity top. Carefully lower the sink into place on the vanity top, pressing down firmly to ensure a good seal. Remove any excess caulk that squeezes out around the edges of the sink.
5. Install the faucet.
Insert the faucet into the holes in the vanity top, and secure it in place with the nuts that came with the faucet. Be sure to tighten the nuts securely, but do not over-tighten.
6. Reconnect the water supply lines.
Connect the water supply lines to the faucet, and tighten the nuts securely. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks. If you find any leaks, tighten the nuts until the leaks stop.
7. Install the backsplash.
If your vanity top came with a backsplash, apply a bead of silicone caulk to the back edge of the vanity top. Press the backsplash into place, and secure it with screws or nails. Remove any excess caulk that squeezes out around the edges of the backsplash.
8. Finish up.
Caulk around the edges of the vanity top where it meets the wall. Allow the caulk to dry completely before using the vanity.
