Toilets

Toilets are one thing that with a bit of elbow grease and limited know how you can even replace. You do need to know how to remove the old toilet and the old sealing ring.

Sinks or Vanities

The sinks or vanities can need replacing once in awhile in the bathrooms. Sometimes just the sink needs replacing and other times the vanity in sits in has to be replaced too. All the plumbing has to be disconnected before you remove either one. If the vanity is to be removed it will have to be gently taken from the wall and the floor to which it is attached. Once it has been removed clean up all debris. Now you are ready for the new one to come in that you purchased. Now if the sink only has to be replaced make sure to get the right size sink to replace it. Then undo the plumbing and cut of scrape the caulk from around the sink. Then lower the new sink in and attach all the plumbing back up. Re-caulk around the sink. You are set to go.

Flooring

If your flooring is ripped, starting to pull away from certain areas in the bathroom too much for just a simple repair, or if the tile floor is showing too much damage, then it is time for new flooring. It is crucial for you to have a waterproofed floor in the bathroom. So having the whole covered securely with some type of flooring is important. This type of home improvement should only be done by you if you are experienced at installing flooring or if you go get some training in how to do it properly.
