How complicated is it to move a bathroom sink?

MM0529 asked:


I am wondering how much work is involved in moving a sink in my bathroom. If I move it next to the toilet (which is on a different wall than where the sink is right now), how much additional plumbing is required and approximately how much should I expect to pay?

My bathroom sink is not draining fast enough, is there a product that can help with ventilation?

Sleepy asked:


When my plumber installed the pipes for my bathroom sink, a vent stack was not installed. I saw a Diy tip that would help with this, but I didn’t know the name of the product. Can someone please help?

Is it difficult to install a bathroom sink? If not what should I know?

W C asked:


I would like to replace my bathroom sink with a new one but wanted know if it would be sensable for me to install it myself or hire a plumber. Is there anything important I should know before trying this out? Thanks for the advice and suggestions.

How do you refinish a bathroom sink?

tessasmomy asked:


Our house was built in the 1950’s. I am almost 100% sure that the sink in the bathroom is original to the house. It is off white with “gold” marbled in. Pretty sure it is not porcelin. Feels almost plastic. It is a sink/counter, one piece unit. I don’t have the $$ to go buy a new one, but this one is an eye sore. Help!
Upon further inspection I do believe it is porcelin.

Enough, show me the money!

How do I add an overflow outlet to a bathroom sink?

BullPit ! asked:


I recently renovated my upstairs bathroom and used a vanity top with a pre-attached undermount sink. The sink didn’t have an overflow hole, but I didn’t think that I would have a problem until my girlfriend left the water running with the drain closed!

What I want to know is if it would be practical to do something like drill a hole in the sink and somehow add an outlet that would connect to the drain. Does this even make sense, or should I try something else? Any help would be appreciated.
