How to remove and replace a bathroom sink DIY video |

[@wisdomluyah]

Thank you for making this video , I am a 52 year old woman and I called a plumber to come out to change out my sink and he did not show up so I saw you video and followed every step and I put in my own sink and faucet all by myself thanks to your video.

[@BigAlRepairs]

Thanks so much for such a nice comment! I am so happy to hear that your project was successful! Great job!!

Most detailed, step-by-step video on KZbin for bathroom sink replacement. Answered a lot of my questions and uncertainties. Thank you sir!

[@jsamuelmejia]

I got tired of being ignored by the repair man and did this on a whim. Thanks Big Al! I have never done this before, and my father was wary, but I sure showed him!

[@BigAlRepairs]

That is great news! Congrats on a successful project! Thanks for writing us we love hearing these stories!

I watched your video 3 to 4 times, maybe 5 times. I was able to replace three bathroom sinks and faucets and install new faucet to pedestal bathroom sink. All the sinks had to get new drain pipes too. I have utility tub to replace too. Waiting for order to come in. I waited for plumber but he was no show or response after giving me estimate for two sink replacements. Had sinks and faucets sitting around for a while waiting for plumber. After saw your video, I got enough courage to try it. I read the comments too which were helpful - attach faucet to sink first before putting sink into the counter. Thank you VERY VERY VERY much for making this video and the people who shared tips through their comments. I saved almost $1300 just on labor fees for 5 sinks. I purchased the materials...sinks (not cast iron sinks), faucets, and drain pipes and p traps and waste connectors. So far no leaks on the 4 sinks I did after watching your video. Can you do a video re how to replace a shower stall faucets (mine are over 40 years old). I am still trying to get a plumber. Thanks.

[@BigAl-1]

@Victoria L. Thanks so much for your comments.I am so glad that you got the courage to try the repairs. Sounds like you did an awesome job. I do have a few videos on tub/shower faucet repairs but nothing major. Good luck with all your DIY projects. Thanks again and hopefully you subscribe to big Al repairs.

My parents have these exact sinks in their 70's style home. I just purchased new drop-in sinks with wide set holes and new faucets for them. I'll install them between Thxgvg and Xmas as my present to them since we're quarantined together and I'm not calling a plumber during this pandemic. Thank you for making this video, Big Al. This lady appreciates it.

What a lovely token of information you have provided! Thank you! I watched the full length of each of the ads within the video for compensation!

[@donwatson1141]

I think I would have put the water lines on the faucet before mounting the sink and the sink drain before mounting sink. Mostly because I don't fit under the cabinet so well. Thanks for taking the time to post this as I am sure it will help many people.

[@BigAl-1]

Thanks Don for your suggestion. I should have put the hoses on before. Thanks again and hopefully you subscribe to big al repairs.

[@tomheermann1391]

"Big Al" this is a great video. It helped me install three sinks in the bathrooms. The replaced sinks were 20-plus-year-old cast iron which rusted out, leaking from underneath the return drain -- all within a month of each other! For myself, I've found that hooking up the water lines to the faucet BEFORE you drop in the sink is most helpful. Otherwise you have to squeeze underneath and try to work pliers or a wrench under more difficult circumstances. (Less cussing for my wife to hear.)

[@BigAl-1]

@Tom. Thanks so much for your comment and suggestions. I wish you the best on your next DIY project hopefully there's not too much cussing. Haha. Thanks again

[@marklebaron5669]

I've put in a bunch of sinks for a local good works agency. I've learned (the hard way!) to install as much as possible - hoses, drain, etc - before I put the sink into the hole. If I don't have that opportunity, I tighten the upper nut of the hoses with a basin wrench. Makes it much easier than getting my hand and a wrench into that tight space. For my personal work, I always change out multi-turn valves to quarter-turn angle stops. They seem to hold the ability to shut off much longer. Thanks for a nice job!

[@jimmadsen1219]

Thanks for the video. I successfully replaced my drain and faucet. I'd like to point out what I learned during this project: 1. I replaced a 19" round sink with another 19" round sink. The original sink had clips holding it secure, but the cutout was 18" in diameter, and the replacements sinks all specified the size of hole around 17" I tried to contact someone with no luck. I found out that the size of the cutout is not critical. 2. The sink instructions has a note"It is recommended that you let the sealant dry for 4 hours before connecting the fittings to the supply lines and the drain. This may cause the bowl to shift from the original position. This may cause the bowl to shift from the original position." I didn't wait, and the bowl shifted, messing up my caulking job. 3. When I replaced the stopper assembly, it looked like I couldn't get all the plumbers putty off and it just looked yucky. I tried to remove the plumbers putty with a knife, and found out that the problem was that the stopper assembly has a protective layer of thin clear plastic, that you had to remove -- the instructions didn't say anything about this. It's now nice and shiny. 4. The new faucet had shorter inlet connectors. I replaced the original semi-rigid inlet tubing with flexible tubing wrapped with metal braid. 5. The drain from the sink was too close to the wall, and I couldn't connect the U-trap. After scratching my head, I pulled out the plastic drain pipe going into the wall, and cut off about 1" with a hack saw -- hooked everything up again, and no leaks -- works perfectly.

Awesome video, I’m tired of waiting years for my husband to do this so I’m feeling like I can do it myself since you’re an excellent instructor! He told me the store said they’re not making that size of sink anymore & I don’t believe that anyway so should I just measure width (20.25”)x length (16 and 14/16”) & take pictures to store?! It’s similar to video’s sink & is oval & I’m not changing tap. Thanks 😊

[@BigAl-1]

Tvz, you will need to measure the length and width of your old sink and compare them with the measurements of your new sink. Make sure the measurements are similar. Best of luck and please give us an update. Thanks again for watching and hopefully you subscribe to Big Al Repairs.

This was a very good video. I knew a little about plumbing, but this helped a lot. I don't know how you got the camera in such tight angles to get such good shots. Thank you for making this.

Thanks Big Al. My next project x 3! 👍👍👍

[@michaelcasile1036]

Good refresher ... might want to mention that when the shutoffs are old, they often will not work well ... so might want to replace them while at it.

[@BigAlRepairs]

Thanks for the comment! Yes that is a good point! I have had that happen to me before. Thanks for the tip!

This is a great video and the way you talk sounds so much like Norm Macdonald .

[@BigAlRepairs]

haha! Thanks for the comment! I will have to look up who Norm Macdonald is :)

[@montex66]

As noted, it is a miracle there were no leaks at the end when you did not use teflon tape through out on all the connections. I would have appreciated how you applied the tape, how much used and especially on the ball stopper, which has plagued me with leaks on previous sink installs.

[@BigAl-1]

Thanks so much for your comment. Best of luck with your DIY projects. It wouldn't hurt to add some Teflon tape but not necessary in all cases.

[@skelthouser2730]

"It looks like a miracle has occurred. We have no water leaks." Ha ha. That's for damn sure. I don't ever remember being that lucky. Well done, Sir.

[@BigAlRepairs]

That is great news! Thanks for the nice comment

Thank you for all the detailed info. I'm tackling this project this weekend. Of course since it took you approx 1/2 hour it will probably take me 4 times as long, but it'll get done!

[@BigAlRepairs]

Nice! Good luck!! We wish you the best of luck with your project! I am sure you can get it done quick! Thanks for the nice comment and thank you for watching!

[@BigAl-1]

Marie let us know how your project turned out. Hopefully all went well.

[@FunnyCTgirl]

I actually just got to it yesterday. Overall it went well thanks to this video, which I used to walk me through it step by step. I had this exact sink and had to remove the clamps underneath without channel locks - forgot to buy them. Doh! But I got it off and installed the new sink with only one extra trip to Home Depot lol. I had tried to re-use some of the drain package components but they were not compatible with the new parts I had bought, so had to buy a whole new drain package, which fit better. I only have a slight drip in the nut area where the pivot ball is that I have to address tomorrow, and the lever is a little tight to pull up and down, but nonetheless the whole project went pretty smoothly! Took me (a true amateur) around 3 hours from start to finish, which I consider a success!

[@BigAlRepairs]

That is amazing! I am so glad you were able to complete your project with success! Thanks for the update and for commenting! I have made plenty of trips to Lowe's in my day, so I know how that goes! Again thanks for the update! It was fun to hear about your project.

[@BigAl-1]

Marie Hopefully you subscribed so you can give us feedback on our future projects.

[@nadinedelaney7129]

Thanks for this video. How do You get measurements right if the new sink. Does the new sink has to match the shape and exact size?

[@BigAl-1]

@Nadine. You just need to measure so that the rim will cover the hole. Thanks so much for your comment. Best of luck with your project. I hope that all goes well and hopefully you subscribe to big Al Repairs.

[@gilbert4351]

Excellent tutorial.

[@BigAl-1]

@Gillian. Thanks so much for your comment. Best of luck with your next DIY project.

[@easttexan2933]

good job Al. thanks for showing this. just a suggestion. did you tighten your sink anchors first before putting a bead of caulk around the sink? that would prevent the sink from moving during installation of pipes, etc and breaking the caulk seal. Just a suggestion and you might have done that, just didn't hear it if you did. Excellent job.

[@BigAl-1]

@Maximuspadus. Thanks for the comment! the sink we install did not come with anchors. Maybe you have to buy them separately. But no we did not use sink anchors we just used adhesive caulk underneath and around the sink. Thanks again and hopefully you subscribe to Big Al repairs.

[@vl.3552]

very nice video. thank you for sharing your knowledge! this is my next project...two bathroom sinks and faucets. wish me luck!
