How To Change Bathroom Sink Faucet

Is your bathroom sink faucet leaking or dripping? If so, it may be time to replace it. Replacing a bathroom sink faucet is a relatively easy DIY project that can be completed in a few hours. Here are the steps on how to do it:

1. Gather your materials. You will need a new bathroom sink faucet, a wrench, a screwdriver, and a pair of pliers. You may also need a bucket to catch any water that drains out of the faucet when you remove it.

2. Turn off the water supply to the faucet. There should be two shut-off valves under the sink, one for the hot water and one for the cold water. Turn both valves clockwise to shut off the water.

3. Disconnect the water supply lines from the faucet. Use a wrench to loosen the nuts that connect the water supply lines to the faucet. Once the nuts are loose, you can pull the water supply lines off of the faucet.

4. Remove the old faucet. There are usually two nuts that hold the faucet in place. Use a wrench to loosen these nuts and then lift the faucet up and out of the sink.

5. Install the new faucet. Place the new faucet in the sink and tighten the nuts that hold it in place. Be sure to tighten the nuts just enough so that the faucet is secure, but not so tight that you damage the faucet or the sink.

6. Connect the water supply lines to the new faucet. Hand-tighten the nuts that connect the water supply lines to the faucet. Once the nuts are hand-tight, use a wrench to tighten them an additional quarter turn.

7. Turn on the water supply to the faucet. Turn on both shut-off valves under the sink to turn on the water supply to the faucet. Check for any leaks and tighten any loose nuts as needed.

That's it! You have now successfully replaced your bathroom sink faucet.
