I am trying to remove a 'generic' type of dual sink vanity installed when the home was built. I see no screws securing it to the wall. Could it just be sitting there, caulked in place? I was hoping to keep it intact to use as a workbench, but if I have to start breaking it up, that's okay too :)
I would suggest locating the studs behind the vanity first. Most likely the fasteners are embedded in wood studs. Good luck!
It could be caulked up. I have even seen people use a kind of tape along with caulking to keep things in place. Keep looking, caulking doesn't last long.
I am sorry to say you may have to start breaking it up. Most vanities are affixed with lots of caulking. be careful because some also will have screws hidden in the back and if you hit them you may hurt your wall. Good luck and be careful - when you hit porcelain it shatters and small shard will fly!
the vanity is definitely screwed in. the base of the vanity gets screwed to the wall before the top is installed. then the top gets caulked on. if you use a utility knife to cut the caulk and remove the counter top then you will see the screws in the back of the vanity at the very top.
most vanities are held in place by the weight of the sink with caulking around the outside of the vanties.it depends on who put it in but look at the wall behing the vanity there could be screws holding it in place.if you start to tear it out you may tear out the drywall too.take care trying to get it out because if there are nails or screws holding it against the wall you may be replacing drywall too.also make sure you disconnect all plumbing before you take it out.
