Coming back to this video to say thanks Bill. I finally swapped over the mixer tap in my kitchen with the new tap i bought two years ago :) it was a real squeeze to get in there, they installed a sliding bin under the sink, but I knew what i was supposed to do and so managed to get it installed and working. It's really satisfying to DIY. Now I'm gonna have a go at my shower screen. It's not QUITE hall of shame, yet :)

Love your work Bill. Filling the sink to compress the seal is a great tip.

Ser this video is gonna be by guiding light when I attempt this for myself in a few months. Thank you!

So timely, my new sink is ready to pick up on Saturday.

Awesome video Bill, You are sure to save people thousands with your howto vids. Props to you Mate. 👍

This is an excellent video! Thank you for explaining everything properly and not just assuming we know all the little things that for some (like me) aren't so obvious. Also your attention to make sure you actually show everything on camera (for example the back attachment brackets) even though it would have been that little bit of an extra pain for you is really appreciated! Thank you ❤️❤️

Nice tip using water weight.......added that to my DIY toolbox

You 're a super star Bill. Your videos are easy to follow, practical, and fun to watch. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

Great videos, thanks! We just moved in to our first place and I'll be doing most of the stuff myself so this video is really handy.

I'm about to install a sink and panicked slightly as it didn't have double sided tape and I don't have any on hand but I do have some clear silicone. That trick with the water was awesome too because I was going to rig something up with some timber, nuts, washers and threaded rod to apply even pressure from the top. This just saved me some time and money. Cheers Bill!

Hi fantastic job the only thing is that you could have removed and fitted the sink with the tap installed to save you struggling under the back keep up the video’s they are very helpful 👷🏻‍♂️

Wow Bill. Should have been a retile and rebench video and then NEW SINK all in same video

Sweet...the sink looks great!

What if I need to redo the same sink? Contractor left a gap between sink and countertop. He struggled with sink clamps and says sealant is all it needs

If you're replacing the sink, wouldn't it be easier to remove the mixer once the sink is out ?

Excellent thank you

Amazing mate

Psychic Bill.... i just picked up a sink from bunnings yesterday and i was kinda worried. Not now thanks Bill✊

Why didn't you put the tap on the sink first before setting the new sink in. Would have been easier.

Good comprehensive video What's the best way to cut out the bench for the sink without making a mess?

@billshowto

For laminate, either circular saw or jigsaw but they will both make a mess from the saw dust 👍👍👍

The tape is single sided because its just a seal, it doesnt secure the sink, the brackets (or screws as you do it do that)

Nice

Thumbs up for the 7/11 coffee

U shouldn’t need tube spanners for this job. Remove the sink with the tap in place. Then remove the tap. Then install the tap to sink before u fit the sink. Or even better, buy a brand new tap for around $50-$100. Re using the old tap is like buying a new car with second hand tyres lol

You can get deep sockets almost everywhere probably be more useful unless your a plumber

Would have been 100% better video if you had shown how the seals actually went right side up.

Almost like a set up .

🔥🔥🔥

Them screws are bound to be seized , I would have to drill the heads off .

Sebastian ward videos you tube insinkerator

Omg that kitchen is from 70s they should have replaced everything there not just sink ⛔️⛔️⛔️⛔️⛔️⛔️⛔️
