Question by W C: Is it difficult to install a bathroom sink? If not what should I know?
I would like to replace my bathroom sink with a new one but wanted know if it would be sensable for me to install it myself or hire a plumber. Is there anything important I should know before trying this out? Thanks for the advice and suggestions.

My bathroom sink drain breaks (unusual korean design) and I end up spending a lot of time in my shower! I was inspired by some Seinfeld! I don’t even know if they have garbage disposal units here?

Most important. Remember to turn the water off at mains. It is not a very hard job. If you are unsure but would like to have a go, why not ask for advice at DIY store when you buy the sink, some have ‘how to’ worksheets.
Well the plumbing part is easy RE; Hot left the cold to the right, That means the hot is on the Left and the Cold is on the right, Watch how the old one comes out, most is a screw or bolts clamp to the counter and sometimes sealed with silicone which you can cut loose with a razor knife, Un hook the lines at the valve under the sink, if you don’t have any then get some and put them in, On the new sink connect the faucet and the supply lines before putting in the sink, Set you sink in correctly and trim the supply lines even with the valve inner part so that it is all the way in and tighten the nut, after you turn the water back on, then slowly open the faucet and let the air come out, then run it for a while, some guy remove the faucet packing stem and then turn on the water, this flushes the line out and won’t clog the faucet.
It’s not difficult at all, Just be prepared with a bucket, and some towels for any liking.
Also, you are going to make more than one trip to the hardware store, but don’t pay attention to it.
The only reason plumbers don’t go to the store as many times as a person like you is because they have a Mobil hardware store in their trucks.
