bathroom vanity is designed for cosmetic purposes and often includes a sink, mirror, and vanity cabinet.

If there is no drain set up for the sink yet, have one installed first before bathroom vanity installation. This ensures ease of plumbing and correct placement of the sink itself.\r\rMost plumbers might refuse to install vanities due to their lack of training and skill set required to complete such an installation. The best option for such a project would be to hire a licensed and insured cabinetmaker or carpenter who has experience with bathroom vanity cabinet installations. \r\rPlumbers do not customarily install vanities, but they could be hired to do the work under specific circumstances. A plumber will very likely need assistance from an outside source like a general contractor in order to successfully accomplish such a task. It is possible that those offering bathroom renovation and installation services and other plumbing work may also offer bathroom vanity installations and bathroom vanity plumbing installations as well. \r\rFor best results, it's always best to contact general contractors first before searching for a plumber when you want to install a bathroom vanity, or adjust an existing vanity.

Even if you're not installing a new vanity, you'll need to move the old vanity out of the way so that you can work without any issues.\r\rYou may also need to run some new plumbing lines from the floor waste and vent above it. This is not always as easy as it sounds since they may be old and corroded and they may also not be easily accessible or they might not even exist anymore. You will want to hire a licensed plumber with experience in this area for the best results. They will start by removing the old tailpiece, clean up any corrosion and debris.\r\rThey will then determine where to cut into the floor or the wall back panel to route new P-traps for both the bathroom vanity sink as well as the lavatory fixture. Since there are many variables involved when determining whether to use the wall or the floor, it's best to have a plumber who specialises in this area take care of it for you. This is because he can use the right tools to minimise any damage to your wall, flooring, and other fixtures. Additionally, he knows exactly what type of piping to use based on your local plumbing code and makes sure that everything works properly once the vanity is in. The final step is filling out any necessary paperwork for permits before turning everything back over to you.\r\rThe job basically involves connecting all the bathroom fixtures together so waste can flow down into an existing sewer line. It also requires hooking up hot and cold water lines, venting for each fixture, and setting up traps.\r\rIf you are looking to install your own bathroom vanity plumbing using Pex tubing, it's important to note that most plumbers will not use Pex when they install bathroom sink drainage because it is more expensive than most other types of piping. However, if you already have the setup in place, then they will probably just use what is there since it would be wasteful to put in new copper tubing at this point for such a small job. The bottom line here is that usually, only large projects involving extensive re-piping will cause them to switch out plumbing materials without having to replace everything with galvanised or copper piping along the way.\r\rIf you're uncertain about how to handle the plumbing when you install a bathroom vanity, it's always best to contact a professional for help. Many online services will help you find the best fit for your needs, allowing you to filter out professionals who do not offer help with vanity plumbing, and also allow customers to book online, making the process as easy for you as possible. The New South Wales Department of Fair Trading has some great information about hiring contractors for these kinds of renovations.\r\rRemember, working in plumbing means dealings with things like water supply lines, water pipes, wall plugs, and more. You may need to use a hammer drill to drill access holes and will also need to be prepared to deal with any unexpected plumbing emergencies that may arise. Unless you're confident you can handle the whole process yourself, getting professional help ensures you don't make errors that will cost you a ton to rectify, and that your plumbing will be working properly once all the work is complete. While a professional will cost more than doing it yourself, you don't have to worry about major accidents or damaging other parts of your bathroom like your flooring, wall, or the countertop while you work on the plumbing.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"Can I install my own bathroom vanity?","text":"Absolutely.
