Qualceram Shires Waterford Washstand
With an electric drill, make pilot holes at the layout marks on the back of your vanity cabinet, so you can make holes for your water and drain lines. Use these holes to line up your hole saw. Use a hole saw that's at least 0.5 inch larger than the widest part of your water and drain lines, and drill halfway from the outside and halfway from the inside of your cabinet for a smoother finish.
Detach the vanity top or sink to reduce the weight of the unit, rendering it easier to move. Most bathroom countertops are attached with adhesive caulk and can be removed using a 14-inch pry bar. You can use the same tool to separate the backsplash from the wall. Be sure to take care when doing this to prevent damaging the wall — or the vanity if you plan to reuse it. Insert a wood shim behind the bar to help protect the wall. If the sink is in a cutout, lift it out once you've removed the tabs that hold it in place. Before moving your vanity, take out any removable drawers and detach the doors, once again to decrease the weight. Check whether the floor butts against the bottom of the vanity. If so, you'll need to use the pry bar to lift up the front and slip some wood shims underneath, so you can slide the vanity out without damaging the floor.
Once you've screwed your vanity into place, you can install your sink. If you've got a sink built into your vanity top, lay it somewhere you can access it easily, such as on the old vanity, then fit the faucets according to the instructions and tighten with pliers. Attach flexible water supply lines to the faucets. Join the tailpiece to the sink and seal around it with a bead of silicone caulk. Check that the sink pop-up connection faces the back of the sink before tightening the locknut to hold the tailpiece in place. Then smooth silicone caulk along the top edges of the vanity base as well as the wall side of the backsplash, and position the vanity top on the unit. Push it side to side slightly to center it and make sure the backsplash is tight against the wall.
