Step-by-Step Installation Guide To Installing A Bathroom Sink

Step 1 - Shut Off Water Supply

Begin by turning off the water supply to the sink area. Locate the shut-off valves under the sink or at the main water supply for the bathroom. Open the tap to drain any remaining water in the lines.

Step 2 - Remove Old Sink (if applicable)

Disconnect the plumbing connections underneath the old sink. Loosen and remove any bolts securing the sink to the countertop. Carefully lift out the old sink and set it aside.

Step 3 - Install Tap and Drain

Follow the manufacturer's instructions to install the tap onto the sink basin. Connect the drain assembly according to the provided guidelines, ensuring a secure fit to prevent leaks.

Step 4 - Position and Secure the Basin

Carefully position the new basin onto the countertop, aligning it with the tap and drain openings. Secure the basin in place using the mounting hardware provided, adjusting for a level and stable fit.

Step 5 - Connect Water Supply

Attach the water supply lines to the tap, ensuring they are tightly connected. Slowly turn on the water supply and check for any leaks around the connections. Tighten as needed to achieve a secure seal.

Step 6 - Apply Sealant and Finish

Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the edges of the basin where it meets the countertop. Smooth the sealant with a finger or tool to ensure water-tightness and a clean finish. Wipe away any excess sealant with a damp cloth.
