Preparation and Planning
Begin by turning off the water supply to your existing sink. Remove the old sink carefully, disconnecting the plumbing. Measure the space to ensure your new sink will fit perfectly. Decide on the placement of the hidden plumbing, typically behind the wall or within a custom cabinet.
Installing the Modern Sink
Position the new sink in place, marking where the mounting brackets will go. Drill holes into the wall or cabinet as needed. Secure the sink using appropriate anchors and screws. Ensure the sink is level and firmly attached.
Hiding the Plumbing
To hide the plumbing, install a false wall or cabinet panel behind the sink. Run the supply lines and drain pipes through the wall or within the cabinet, connecting them to the sink’s fittings. Use PVC pipes for the drain and flexible supply lines for water connections.
Connecting the Plumbing
Attach the supply lines to the water shut-off valves and the faucet. Connect the drain pipe to the sink’s drain outlet, ensuring a tight seal with silicone sealant. Test the connections for leaks by turning on the water supply and running water through the sink.
Finishing Touches
Once everything is secure and leak-free, conceal the plumbing with the wall panel or cabinet. Clean the area and check the functionality of your new modern sink. Enjoy the sleek, uncluttered look of your upgraded bathroom!
