I'm a keen diyest and have recently re-done my showerroom. I only have a vanity unit style sink left to plumb in to complete the job but am having problems getting a plumber out to install it for me as no-one seems interested in such a small job. There is already a sink there so pipework is already in place. Can anyone tell me how easy it would be to install this myself and where to start as I have never attempted plumbing before. I also live on the 3rd floor so any mistakes I make may be felt by 3 neighbours!

was the old washbasin a pedastal basin?
do the existing pipes run close to the wall or come up through the floor close to the wall?
does the waste pipe run along the floor or go under the floor?
this will have implications for how you locate the new waste and supply pipes... get back with more info and you'll get summore advice
nearly said cant be bothered answering you... its too small a job...
and yes you shoulkd be capable of doin the work yourself

the existing basin is a small cloakroom basin that is wall hanging. It currenly has two taps. The new sink has a mixer tap.
the pipes and waste both run close to the wall and join the main water and waste pipes for the flat which come into this room and run up the wall about a foot away from the sink (they are waiting to be boxed in once the new sink is installed).
thanks for your help - i'm getting quite excited with the idea of finishing this room! (it was started last june...)
