How to Add Legs to a Vintage Sink

Examine the sink for any small holes that indicate it had legs in the past. If your sink lacks those holes, you need to drill new holes into the porcelain. Decide on the placement of the legs and mark the location on the sink. You need four legs placed near the corners of the sink for maximum stability.

Attach a diamond bit to an electric drill. Position the drill on top of one hole and carefully press down as you turn the drill on. The drill bit should pass through the porcelain, leaving behind a clean hole. Repeat this step on the other three holes.

Dip a rag in cold water and squeeze out the excess water. Push the damp rag through each hole, pushing out any porcelain dust or residue left in the holes. Make sure that you clean each hole with a damp rag.

Slide one of the legs through one of the holes in your sink. The legs feature a bolt that sits inside the leg with the top part exposed. Slide the cap for the leg on top of the bolt and twist closed with a wrench. Repeat this step with each leg.

Turn the sink over so that the four legs sit flat on the floor. Grasp the sides of the sink and gently shake it back and forth. If the sink feels wobbly, make sure that each cap is firmly tightened to each leg.
