Question I am going to install a new bathroom sink. After disconnecting the plumbing what is the best way to remove the sink without destroying the counter top. Further, what is the best way to reseal the new installation to the counter top. Thanks in advance for your help. Jimmy
Answer Hi Jimmy,
"After disconnecting the plumbing what is the best way to remove the sink without destroying the counter top. Further, what is the best way to reseal the new installation to the counter top."
That would depend on the type of lavatory that's in there. A steel lavatory uses clips on the underside. A china lavatory is secured by adhesive caulk. Let me know what's coming out and what's going in and I'll answer ASAP. Tom
