Replace Pop Up Drain Bathroom Sink

Replacing a pop-up drain in a bathroom sink is a relatively simple plumbing repair that can be completed in about an hour. Here are the steps on how to do it:

1. Gather your materials. You will need:

A new pop-up drain assembly
A wrench
A pair of pliers
A bucket
A rag

2. Turn off the water supply to the sink. There should be two shut-off valves under the sink, one for the hot water and one for the cold water. Turn both valves clockwise to turn off the water.

3. Open the faucet to drain any remaining water from the sink.

4. Place a bucket under the sink to catch any water that may leak out.

5. Use a wrench to loosen the nut that holds the pop-up drain assembly in place. The nut is located on the underside of the sink. Be careful not to overtighten the nut, as you could damage the sink.

6. Once the nut is loose, use your fingers to pull the pop-up drain assembly out of the sink.

7. Inspect the old pop-up drain assembly for any damage. If the assembly is damaged, you will need to replace it with a new one.

8. Apply a small amount of plumber's putty to the base of the new pop-up drain assembly. This will help to create a seal between the assembly and the sink.

9. Insert the new pop-up drain assembly into the sink.

10. Use a wrench to tighten the nut that holds the pop-up drain assembly in place. Be careful not to overtighten the nut.

11. Turn on the water supply to the sink.

12. Check for leaks. If there are any leaks, tighten the nut that holds the pop-up drain assembly in place.

13. Use a rag to wipe up any excess water.

Your pop-up drain is now replaced!
