How To Attach Sink To Vanity

Installing a sink in a vanity is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few hours. However, there are a few things you need to keep in mind to ensure a successful installation.

Before you begin, you need to gather the following tools and materials:

Sink
Vanity
Putty knife
Caulk gun
Caulk
Level
Screwdriver
Wrench

Once you have all of your tools and materials, you can begin the installation process.

Remove the old sink. If there is an old sink installed in the vanity, you will need to remove it before you can install the new one. To do this, turn off the water supply to the sink and disconnect the drain line. Then, use a putty knife to loosen the caulk around the sink and remove it from the vanity.
Clean the vanity. Once the old sink is removed, you need to clean the vanity surface where the new sink will be installed. Use a damp cloth to wipe away any dirt or debris.
Apply a bead of caulk. Apply a thin bead of caulk around the edge of the sink where it will meet the vanity. This will help to create a watertight seal and prevent leaks.
Set the sink in place. Carefully set the sink in place on the vanity. Make sure that the sink is level and that it is centered in the opening. Once the sink is in place, press down on it to ensure that it is securely seated.
Tighten the mounting screws. Once the sink is in place, tighten the mounting screws to secure it to the vanity. Be careful not to overtighten the screws, as this could damage the sink or the vanity.
Reconnect the drain line. Reconnect the drain line to the sink and turn on the water supply. Check for leaks around the drain and around the base of the sink. If you see any leaks, tighten the connections or apply more caulk.
Caulk around the sink. Once the sink is installed and there are no leaks, you can caulk around the sink to finish the installation. Apply a thin bead of caulk around the edge of the sink where it meets the vanity. This will help to create a watertight seal and prevent leaks.

With these steps, you can save yourself a few bucks and install a sink into your vanity. If this isn't something you are comfortable attempting, we always recommend hiring a licensed plumber to get the installation done properly.
