ServiceMagic: How to Replace a Bathroom Sink and Faucet, Part Two

[xxxcheddar92xxx]

very informative, thanks for posting!

My sink/faucet is not attached to a water valve, therefore I might have to turn off the main system. However, that is not my concern. My concern is is that my faucet is attached to copper tubes, so if I were to replace/attached the pipes what do I need to fasten them together. I know that they have devices to attach coppper pipes to flexible ones like in your vid, No more welding involved. Can you please advise what washers, etc I need or point me to a vid? Thanks!!!!

@Doza418 You can get PEX tubing which is flexible and easy to use. In order to attach the copper to the PEX you need to look into Shark Bites at your local hardware store. The Shark Bites are easy to use and require no soldering or welding. Make sure to take the correct measurements and get the right size of PEX and Shark Bite connections.

Teflon tape on compression fittings? Why??

Great video and fairly thorough. I had plastic threads so I didn't put the tape on them (hoping that works) I read to put putty on the faucet gasket too and figured eh couldn't hurt. This is my first sink installation and your video has been an awesome help compared to the others. THANK YOU!

Excellent. I was getting ready to install my sink without the faucets, but the hint to do it first probably saved me an hour's worth of work! Also, appreciated the step by step instructions. My wife wanted the sinks for Christmas and she will be very grateful for the installation. BTW we will call servicemagic on future projects. Thanks!

A new upgraded bathroom will add considerable value to the looks and appeal of an older home. If the outcome looks really good and improves upon the original design...it will be much more desirable over similar homes in the same neighborhood that have no upgrades or, updates.

@ServiceMagicdotcom I was wondering I watched you help me put in a new sink in the bathroom but put the old facet on the sink which still worked but now I have hardly any hot water please help thx

@MrWadelove45 sounds like you ran into a bump in the road with your sink replacement. It’s really hard to tell what is wrong without a professional consultation. It may be best to have a plumber come take a look and possibly fix it for you. If you need us to match you with plumbers in your area, send your information to emailus[at]servicemagic[dot]co­m and we’ll get you taken care of. Thanks for watching!

I'm trying to fix a leaky sink for a lady friend of mine. . The bowl is of metal construction, but the the drain line does not attach directly to the bowl. There is a black plastic housing that sort-of cups the bottom of the bowl, & the drain line attaches to the plastic housing. the housing appears to be attached to the bottom of the bowl with clear silicone, & that seal leaks like crazy. I'll try cleaning the old stuff out & re-seal. Should i use silicone again?. Looks like bad design to me

@timin770 Hi there - so sorry we weren't able to respond to your comment sooner. We're curious, how did you resolve this problem?

[CarlitoPucl]

THANK YOU ! I was staring at my sink tonight thinking HOW IN HEAVEN'S NAME am I going to do this by myself? Doesn't seem so impossible anymore ! :)

This company rips people off. They are dishonest and they are liars. It is impossible for this company to be telling you the truth. Think about it, if they were finding so much work, then why would the construction industry be hurting so much.
