Things You'll Need:
- Tape measure Stud finder Level Shims 4 2 ½ inch wall screws for each 3 feet of vanity width Screwdriver Tub and tile caulk
-
Step 1
Use the stud finder to mark the studs where the back of the vanity will be attached. Mark slightly above the top of the vanity and repeat on each stud--approximately 16 inches apart and two studs for every 3 feet of vanity width.
-
Step 2
Lift the vanity over the water lines and drain and place it against the wall. This may require a helper if the new vanity is larger than 32 inches wide.
-
Step 3
Level the vanity, using shims under the bottom edges to correct any sloping of the vanity top. The shims will be hidden by trim when you finish the floor.
-
Step 4
Secure the vanity to the wall, using the 2½ inch screws and rechecking the levelness as you go. Attach two screws to each stud, placing the first screw 2 inches below the top of the vanity and the second screw 12 inches below the first.
-
Step 5
Run a thin line of caulk along the sides and bottom of the vanity. Smooth the caulk with a wet finger to finish the job.
