Once the revamping of your kitchen is underway it is a better idea to replace the old sink with a new one in order to revive the serenity of your kitchen.

Though the task appears to be a heavy-duty plumbing project but can be made less daunting if proper course of action is adopted complemented by the required plumbing tools.

Beforehand select the new sink for your kitchen taking into account the space available for the sink as well as the material of the sink. Start off the campaign by taking measurements of the old sink and how much space it acquired in the middle. Based on these measurements, sort out the new sink type. Nowadays stainless sinks are preferred over other sinks because they are less susceptible to corrosion and decay. Also they fit properly into the counter top leveling the upper surface of the sink with the counter top. Hence no voids are created between the counter top and the sink edges easing the cleaning task. The clips attached well to the sink beneath the fixture render a rigid setup as well.

Porcelain sinks, due to their rolled edges and heavy body, rest automatically into the counter top thus eliminating the need of any additional clips. But they offer some disadvantages as well, one of which is due to their rising edges. Since the edges rise a bit above the surface of the counter top hence cleaning off the debris from the counter top becomes tough.

Kick off the actual task by turning off the water supply to the sink. Detach the drainage pipe from the sink with the assistance from wrenches and pliers. Make sure that the finishing of the screws is not altered.

Once the plumbing associations are dissociated from the sink, clear off the plaster and cement from the edges of the sink to loosen the structure. You may require the hammers and pliers to accomplish this part of the project.

Once everything is cleared off and the sink appears suspended, push the sink upwards to detach it completely from the fixture. Place it in a convenient location and make way for the new sink inserting it into the counter top. Attach the clips underside the sink to hold the new sink together.

Plaster the setup well and turn on the water supply to the sink.
