Re: how to remove 40 YO inbuilt laundry cabinet

Hello @Taurie 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about removing your in-built cabinet in the laundry.

 

Would you be able to send your photos through email? If you are, please send them to workshop@bunnings.com.au and we'll post the photos for you. You've done well in removing the silicone, unfortunately we would definitely need to see how the cabinet is situated as there could be a number of fixing points that are not in plain sight.

 

Generally, if you have a benchtop on top of this cabinet, it is often fixed from the bottom. If there are no plumbing accessories attached to the benchtop then it would make it a whole lot easier to take apart. The cabinet itself is often screwed to the wall, so I suggest having a look inside and see if you can find screw heads on the back panel.

 

The worst-case scenario is that the cabinet is glued to the wall and floor. This means that if you do take it apart or remove it, it will need to be replaced with a new cabinet. As soon as we see the pictures we'll be able to make a better assessment.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

 

Eric
