The kitchen sink sees constant use on a daily basis, and eventually will need to be replaced. Sometimes, you may want to replace the sink simply to upgrade, or to conserve more water. Whatever the reason, it is good to have a few tips in mind before you replace your sink. Here are some of Plumbtile’s top tips, as well as a how-to video for replacing your kitchen sink.

First, it is very important to take into account the type of function you wish to have, as well as the amount of work you are willing to do. If you currently have a single bowl sink and are looking to get a double bowl, there is going to be some work involved in cutting your counter top. This may even have to be done by a professional.

Of course, design is always a factor to consider as well. Many water-conserving sinks and faucets these days come in luxury finishes and designs, so it should not be hard to find one that fits your kitchen perfectly. You may even find that this upgrade makes your life much easier, with so many new developments in faucet design!

Once you have chosen the sink you want, you must know how to install it (if you are doing so yourself.)  We have found this video to be very helpful in showing you exactly what needs to be done.
