Kitchen sink with a shower

Not as weird as the title sounds!

Basically I've installed a new ceramic sink unit into a clients home, but they have chosen a removable tap for pre rinsing and washing draining board etc...
Quite practical in the modern home.
Anyway, removing the old, tired metal sink was the easy bit. Only difficulty was that the hot water could not be isolated. This caused for a bit of clever thinking ;)
I had to cut the pipe and push an isolator on as quickly as possible so to minimise the flooding. WELL... I only went and did it!! No spillage, no mess, everything was dry.. Bar a towel I save for special occasions such as this one.

Once all was released if was time to unscrew all 22 work top clamps holding the sink in place. This task took approximately 10 minutes due to having minimal space under the old sink.

Once I was happy that everything was disconnected, the old unit came out.

Replacing the new ceramic sink was a bit more difficult as it was a slightly different shape, off centred and wouldn't clear a cupboard divider. Only way for this to fit, cupboard had to be cut to allow for fitting.

Here are some pictures to show the quality of my work.

Thanks for viewing
