How to Install a Bathroom Vanity

Putting in a new bathroom vanity is very easy but if you are planning on rerouting plumbing, you might want to call a plumber in for that part. The first step is to take some measurements to make sure that your new vanity will fit. Once you have an idea about the size, make sure you look at all the styles and options in the market. The first step is to turn off the water supply and open the tap and shower to release the water present in the pipes. 

Remove the old vanity (if present) by unscrewing/detaching it. This is the ideal time to repair your walls if required. To install a new vanity, start by marking its height on the wall at min three different locations; also mark the width on the wall. This will provide you a rough guideline for the installation. Move in the vanity as per the marking, check its level and adjust if needed. After this attach the cabinet with screws and assemble the sink over it. Add a thin line of silicone adhesive to the edges to secure it. In the end, reconnect the water supply line.
