You might be surprised to learn that you can replace your bathroom vanity yourself with just a few tools and some basic knowledge. With the right preparation, you can remove your old vanity and install a new one in no time at all!
Here are the steps you'll need to take:
1. Turn off the water supply to your bathroom. This is an important step because you don't want any surprises when you're working with plumbing. Locate the main water shutoff valve for your home and turn it clockwise to close it.
2. Disconnect the pipes leading to your vanity. You'll need a wrench to loosen the nuts that secure the pipes to the faucet fixtures. Once they're loose, carefully remove the pipes and set them aside.
3. Remove any hardware from your old vanity, such as drawer pulls or knobs. These can usually be unscrewed by hand. If they're stubborn, use a drill or screwdriver to remove them.
4 . Take out the drawers and doors of your vanity, if applicable . With these removed, you should be able to lift the entire vanity top off of its base . If it's too heavy for one person , ask a friend or family member for help .
5 . Unscrew any remaining screws or nails securing the base of your old vanity in place . Carefully lift it away from the wall and set it aside so you can dispose of it later .
