HOW TO REPLACE A BATHROOM VANITY SINK TOP
Hey students!
I get calls all the time from homeowners wanting to simply replace their bathroom sink vanity tops. This makes a lot of sense since it saves you some serious money on replacing an entire vanity. Replacing a vanity top is a great way to update your bathroom’s look. Especially since a lot of builder grade countertops are very bland and downright ugly!
In this video, I explain the process of replacing a double sink vanity top and why it is tough to find a contractor to do this job.
Here are a few remodeling tips:
1 - Turn off water at main house shut off before removal. Most older valves will leak when you try to turn off (especially the brass craft ones).
2 - Keep in mind that if you plan to get custom granite, marble, quartz or other type of top, you will need to remove the existing countertop for the company to accurately measure.
3 - Consider a re-installation of existing top if the lead time for top is longer than you can deal without a functioning vanity.
4 - Upon removal, be sure to score edges and caulking before removing. Most countertops are simply siliconed in place.
5 - Pay attention to the hole spacing on a stock vanity top. Most double sink vanity tops have 8" centers, which require a faucet with separate handles.
6 - Replace the existing water supply valves. This is very important if the existing valves are 20 years or older.
7 - Set faucets before installing top. It’s a lot easier connecting things before setting the top into place.
8 - Consider a pop-up drain as they are a lot easier to install than a traditional flip lever type drain assembly.
9 - Leave drain assembly out of sinks as this will make it easier to set new top in place.
10 - Use clear silicon to adhere new top.
11 - Patch & paint before setting side splashes.
