Before Installing the Bathroom Vanity Top
Here are a few things to take care of before getting started.
-
Take measurements of the vanity base and buy your new vanity top according to these measurements. The vanity top you choose will depend on the space available and your personal taste. Some vanity tops have the sink bowl built in, while others have an opening cut out, ready to accept the sink bowl of your choice.
-
Make sure you have all the materials you’ll need for the project, including any safety gear for protection while you work. Things like safety glasses and work gloves may be necessary.
-
If you’re also replacing the bathroom vanity base, you’ll need to purchase a new one before you can add a new top. Measure your space to determine what size vanity will work, especially if you’re considering a larger size. How to install a bathroom sink and vanity gives general guidelines for how to remove a bathroom vanity and install the new one.
