The steps to replace a washbasin:
- Turn off the water and heat in the bathroom.
- Disconnect the supply and drain pipes from the existing sink, using a screwdriver to undo the clamps that hold the hoses to the fittings on the sink.
- Remove the existing sink, making sure no parts remain inside the walls or behind the wall before removing the sink completely.
- Install a new frame to accommodate your new sink, if it is different from the previous model (most frames are interchangeable).
- Place your new sink on the frame and secure them together with screws provided by the manufacturer or similar hardware appropriate to your specific needs.
- Reconnect the supply and drain hoses to your new faucet according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer; Make sure each gasket is tightened properly so that it doesn’t leak once filled with hot and cold water over the next few days/weeks after its initial installation.
- Then reinstall the drain and then set up all accessories like drainers, siphoning tubes, etc., according to your individual needs.
- Then turn the water supply and heating back on to the bathroom to complete this simple but important process!
