How hard is it to change out an ugly bathroom vanity/sink?
It is easy, but the learning curve is steep and can be very expensive. Especially if you flood your home because of a loose fitting. Pipes breaking off behind the wall, damaging the sink or vanity or ruining the new vanity from a small leak are things I see often.
Not to terribly complicated. First pick out a new vanity and sink that best fits your style and bathroom. then you'll need a screw gun, plumbing tools, a hand saw, jig saw , and tape measure. First shut off the water supply to the hot and cold water lines. then with a bucket under, loosen and disconnect all plumbing. remove sink top, unscrew vanity from wall and discard. next measure plumbing placement on existing bathroom wall so to prep the new vanity for plumbing holes. install vanity (level).Place toe kick on front. Set fauct to sink and connect proper hoses. silicon sink top to vanity. secure drain lines. be sure to use plumbers putty so to avoid leaks. once all is back together test to ensure tight fit and your set to go.
Mr. Phoenix and ER are both right on. I'd say it depends on your skill level. What you've done in the past and what your comfortable with. If ER's response makes sense to you, then do it. If you don't understand what he's talking about, you might want to get some help.
fairly easy if the shutoffs on the hot and cold work and you replace the vanity with the same size
On a scale from 1 to ten, maybe a 5, but seriously could be a 3 1= easy
