Replacing Under Sink Cabinet Floor

Replacing the floor of an under-sink cabinet is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few hours. This is a necessary repair if the floor of the cabinet has become damaged or rotted due to water leaks or other factors.

Tools and Materials You'll Need:

- New cabinet floor - Jigsaw or circular saw - Measuring tape - Pencil - Wood glue - Screws - Drill - Screwdriver

Instructions:

Remove the cabinet door and shelves: This will give you better access to the floor of the cabinet.
Measure the floor of the cabinet: Use a measuring tape to determine the length and width of the floor. Add 1 inch to each measurement to allow for overhang.
Cut the new floor: Use a jigsaw or circular saw to cut the new floor to the desired size. Be sure to make the cuts square.
Apply wood glue to the edges of the floor: This will help to hold the floor in place when you screw it down.
Place the floor in the cabinet: Align the floor with the edges of the cabinet and press it into place. Be sure to overhang the floor by 1 inch on all sides.
Screw the floor down: Use a drill and screws to secure the floor to the cabinet. Be sure to countersink the screws so that they are flush with the surface of the floor.
Reinstall the cabinet door and shelves: Once the floor is secured, you can reinstall the cabinet door and shelves.
