Connecting up the waste turned out to be the hard part. I struggled a lot to figure out which bits would connect to which other bits. And getting from one fixed point (the bottom of the sink) to another fixed point (the waste pipe in the wall) is really hard! I think I have a solution now, but it requires a part that I don't have and the shops closed before I could pick it up.

Currently the sink is "working" and has a bucket sitting under the drain. It's not siliconed to the wall, but I'll do that after I'm finished connecting the waste;.

Disappointed I didn't manage to get it done, but tomorrow's another day.

The in-pipes are all connected. I still need to buy a trap, connect up the waste, fix it to the wall, and turn the water back on. And then hope that nothing has gone wrong...

The flexible pipes that came with the new tap don't fit with the pipes coming out of my wall. I'm going to try using the flexible pipes from the old tap...

The old sink is off! I've installed the tap and waste plug thingy into the new basin without a hitch. Getting close to the hard bit now...

The sink will best Fion mark my words folks

Well, we can tick off "removes the trap and pours the water into the newly disconnected sink such that the water from the trap goes all over the bathroom floor" on our bingo cards. 🤦

Hmm, not sure how to turn off the water to the hot tap...

@Fion Hmm, I've done something that's reduced it to a dribble, but it's remaining a dribble for some time...

@Fion It's still dribbling from the kitchen but seems to have eased up in the bathroom, so I'm just leaving the kitchen tap dribbling and getting on with the work. (I deliberately didn't heat the hot water yesterday so I'm not wasting much.)

Ok, time to stop creating markets and get to work! Wish me luck!
