Question:

Bathroom sink?

I want to buy a new bathroom sink, but have no clue what to get. I have a white round, not square sink with a silver faucet. I want a standard white round sink. Do sinks come with all the screws and everything to install? Also, do sinks come with the faucet handles or do you have to buy those seperately? Do sinks already have the holes for where the faucet goes? Any info helpful.

Answer:

Sink's usally come with all the mounting hardware. they come in 4 on center holes or 8 on center or single Hole for faucet. make sure you get the right faucet. and get a good brass popup plug assembly comes with faucet.
Most sink tops are held in place on the base cabinet using caulk and the plumbing. The holes are pre-drilled for the faucet which is sold separately.
Again (I answered the front door question too) Home Depot/Lowes have TONS of sinks in stock to choose from, lots of round ones also. They come with the holes for the faucet but you have to buy the faucet seperately. They do come with everything else to install though.
You usually buy just the sink. The waste and plug come separate. The brassware (taps) is (are) separate. The only thing you need to decide is how many holes you are having - if you have a mixer tap you need three holes, if a pair of taps (which I assume you mean by faucet - how quaint) you have two holes. If you have wall valves and a filler spout you can opt for no holes at all. If a pop-up waste make sure you get a basin without a chain stay hole. You will get an overflow if it's moulded in - or may need a separate one which will connect to the trap. If the basin mounts to the wall you get brackets with it, or under a counter you usually get all the fittngs to hold it in place.
