Remove a Vanity
So you've had it with that,
nasty old bathroom vanity. Well replace it. You can do it
yourself. I'll show you how...
Remove Bathtub Decals
Bathtub decals are great for
giving you a non-slip tub, but they can get cruddy. If you
want to remove yours, here's how it's done...
Repair Porcelain
You don't have to live with
that cracked porcelain sink. It's easy to fix...
Repairing Grout
Hurry and replace the grout
in your shower when it cracks and falls out, or you could
end up with some serious water damage...
Replace a Tile
Are you living with a
cracked or broken tile? Don't, it's easy to replace and
you can do it yourself...
Replacing Grout
Where there is chipped and
cracked grout there is the possibility of water damage,
why not fix it... |
Measure the height and width of the vanity, and transfer
the measurements to the wall using a straight edge to make
a chalk line of the vanity on the wall. Making the marks
in chalk makes it easier to remove when you're finished.
Find and mark the wall studs within the outline, you need
to hit at least one during installation. 
If there is no opening in the back of your vanity, measure
the location of the pipes and then cut access holes. 
Remove the doors, it will make it easier to install the
vanity and you'll be less likely to damage them while
you're working. 
Put the cabinet in place and check to make sure it is
level across the front edge and also from front to back,
then check for plum on each side. If it isn't level or
plumb, use wood shims to get it into the right position.
Use three-inch wood screws and some washers to attach the
vanity to the wall studs through the wood panel that runs
across the back, and then re-attach the doors. 
If your vanity and sink are two separate pieces you will
need to apply a bead of caulk around the top edge of the
vanity and set the sink on to that. Now all that's left to
do is hook up the plumbing.
