A lavatory/bathroom sink faucet is a troublesome fixture found in most bathrooms.

A lavatory/bathroom sink faucet typically consists of one or two holes for water coming out of the bottom, what is called an aerator where you can adjust the temperature and flow rate, and sometimes even an automatic shut-off feature so water does not leak from basin while not in use.

The area around a lavatory/bathroom sink faucet often gets wet easily because water leaking from the faucet splashes up onto it, which can allow bacteria to grow there. In other words, it is a hard thing to get clean if you do not have any disinfectant cleaner handy!

There are many things that can cause a lavatory/bathroom sink faucet to become faulty. 

One of the most common causes of a faulty faucet is mineral build-up. This can happen over time as water sitting in the pipes and on the faucet itself dries up and leaves behind minerals. These minerals can then build up and cause the faucet to become less effective or even completely blocked.

Another common problem is a loose washer. Washers are responsible for creating a seal between the faucet and the sink, and over time they can become loose or worn out. This can cause water to leak from the faucet, which can be both annoying and costly.

1. The first step is to find the right size of the lavatory/bathroom sink faucet. You can use a tape measure to figure out the exterior dimensions of your old sink faucet and match them up with potential models.
2. The next step is to cut off any hoses connected to which ever has been removed from its socket on a water heater or tank.
3. After turning off the water at the shutoff valves under the sink, unscrew the old lavatory/bathroom sink faucet from its mounting nuts.
4. If you have a sprayer hose, remove it by unscrewing the connector. If your new faucet does not come with a sprayer, you may need to buy one separately and install it.
5. If you are installing a new shutoff valves, turn on the water supply at the main valve before continuing with this project; if not, then proceed to the next step without turning the water back on.
6. Now clean the area around the old faucet’s mounting nuts with a rag and some mineral spirits or a degreaser. If the old faucet is corroded, you may want to use a wire brush to get it really clean. Apply plumber’s putty to the mounting areas on the sink and then reattach the new faucet to the mounting nuts.
7. Reattach the sprayer hose to the faucet if you have one. If not, attach it to your shutoff valve instead; make sure that on some models, you will need to put up a plate on the underside of your sink to hide unsightly plumbing hardware. Turn on your water supply and check for leaks. If everything looks good, give your new faucet a final tighten and enjoy!
