Removing is very simple you just remove the tile grout at the edge of the sink then lift the sink. or hammer your way to remove the old sink since you said you already broke it. The sink is actually just hanging with a couple of screws (look underneath your sink and you'll know what I mean) Installing is also easy because you already have the existing screws attached to the wall from the old sink, now what you need to do is find a sink with exactly the same as the one you broke so you can just attach it to the existing screws As for the hose connecting the water pipe from the faucet just connect it very easy. Don't forget to buy silicone tile grout to seal off the edge and securely attach the sink to the wall Its whats being used nowadays and not the old powder tile grout No need to spend so much money. Ask the home depot you will buy the sink from and they'll tell you the same thing I told you now

My suggestion is to purchase the sink you want and ask a neighbor to help. Putting in a new sink is easy. The key is to MAKE SURE THE SIZE FITS: 1. the vanity hole, 2. depth of the bowl for the pipes below and 3. the placement of the hole for the pipes below. This is one time where bigger is not better! Hint: Install the new faucet into the sink BEFORE you mount the sink into the vanity. You can do this in the kitchen or living room where there is more space and better light, then install the whole faucet/ bowl into the vanity top. Don't be afraid of this repair. Silicone and advice are cheap!
