Installing Bathroom Vanities Yourself

Changing out bathroom vanities is one of the easiest things a homeowner can do to change the look and style of their bathroom. It is also one of the most affordable.

Are you thinking of replacing your old bathroom vanity by yourself? You might be surprised to find out how easy it is to replace bathroom vanities and that you can often do it yourself without a problem. In most cases, you can finish this job in a single day.

When choosing your new vanity, make sure that it will fit inside the bathroom without crowding too much space. When you have decided on a particular bathroom vanity, you can begin to prep your bathroom. The first thing you should do is to take out the old vanity. Begin by taking the top off first, as this will make it easier to remove the rest of the vanity. The reason for this is that the top is often made of granite or porcelain, which it very heavy. You can then take the rest of the vanity apart piece by piece and remove it from your bathroom. After removing the vanity, you may wish to do a preliminary cleanup, as it is often easier to install new bathroom vanities in a clean environment.

When you begin to place your new vanity into the bathroom, you will want to be sure that your measurements are exact. You need to ensure that the plumbing for the sink matches up, and that the vanity is at the right height. Mark the wall at the level where you need the vanity to sit. It might be easier to have someone help you with this step.

As common sense would dictate, you should remove the doors and drawers of the vanity to reduce the risk of damage while you are installing the new vanity, which also makes the vanity lighter when carrying and installing. After installing the top and the plumbing lines, you need to check for leaks. If there are no leaks, you have just installed your first bathroom vanity. As you can see, installing new bathroom vanities can be simple.
