For more information or a written out step by step you can stop by www.thediyguy.net/2014/04/how-... . A video on how to replace a kitchen sink strainer / basket.
I am a 60-year-old female and learning how to fix things around the house. I am GLAD to say I followed this video and did it myself and NO LEAKS. Thanks so much
Thanks so much DIYguy. My dad is long gone, and now I depend on you, and honest to goodness guys like you, to show me how. I appreciate your simple, straightforward stuff. Dad would be proud!
I am a 56 year old woman and disabled so I try to save money as much as possible. I appreciate your videos because you make it easy to understand and for me to do. Thank you!
I’m 61 yr old woman that fixed her sink and installed a new faucet 😆👏🏻👏🏻 thanks to these easy to follow instructions for the sink drain !!! Thank you so very much 🙏!!!
Thanks for the video! Short and sweet. Having a Home Advisor "Plumber" replace your sink, faucet, and garbage disposal=$375. Getting to re-do all of his shotty work myself = Priceless. I think I'm now a Plumberess. Maybe I should go work for Home Advisor!
Thank you soooo much, this video helped me replace both sink strainers. I called Rotor Rooter and they said they have a flat rate of $65 just to come out to assess the situation, this does not include labor fees. In fact all the plumbers I called had such a 'come out and see' fee. All I needed was to get a $7 mini hack saw to remove that corroded locknut underneath as you suggested. I got all the materials I needed (hacksaw, sink strainers, plumber putty, tailpiece pipes) at Lowe's for around $30. In less than 30 minutes I was done!
+PariNicole You're welcome and we're glad to hear we could save you the 30$ right off the top as there come out and take a look fee. Glad to hear you got it fixed in a reasonable amount of time. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave us a comment. Take care.
You ain't lying girl I called them to and just four to kitchen sink shut off valve $495 with my parts it is crazy but I had no choice they crack and I have to use my emergency shut-off valve🤦♂️🤦♂️🤬
Thank you so much! I am a 51 yr old female that has had to learn how to fix things on my own in the last few years. I live in an older home which means things are needing to be repaired. I followed your tutorial exactly and fixed my sink for a minimal out of pocket cost. I read a few of the negative comments and total disagree. You did a great job of simplifying the instructions and helping me (which my income doesn't allow for over priced repairs) fix my sink. Thanks again!
You're welcome, Glad we could help save you some hard earned money. You can't please everyone.. some people want to see how to replace the drain... this video is on replacing the strainer as the title says. Thanks for the kind words and for watching.
Appreciate this video. I am a 3rd shift worker who woke up to my dear princess pulling all the stuff from under the sink because of a leak. Well I didn't get to work out today, but I did fix the problem with the help of your video. Thanks again! Semper Fi!
64 year female! Could not figure why my metal gasket was leaking, watched tour video. Thank you lord! My kit did not come with top hat gasket! Found one in my plumbing box! Fixed! 😍😍
Perfect; it made me look like I knew what I was talking about when I went to the store to purchase the new strainer. New strainer installed and working. Thank you for the video!
Thank you SO much! My plumber was going to charge $175. For less than $20 in materials I was able to change this completely by myself. I feel so PROUD! For anyone with the same issue as me...I couldn't get the locknut off with a wrench, so I tapped it with a flat screwdriver until it loosened.
You're welcome, Glad we could help save you some money. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave us a comment. Don't forget to give the video a thumbs up/ like if you haven't already. Thanks
This is my first comment ever on RUclips and this video needs the praise it deserves! This was the best video. I could see everything you were doing and you didn't talk about anything else, just right to the point and you actually explained it! I am not afraid to do this now! Thanks a bunch! Keep you the great videos!
Now that's the best step by step video I have seen so far. Thank You for making things so much easier for a guy that is trying to learn and save a buck at the same time. I would recommend this video to anyone that wants to replace a drain strainer and they will be relieved to see how easy this guy makes it to do yourself. Keep up the Great work and thanks again!
Very helpful - thank you! I am installing a square drain basket with a foam gasket for above the sink and plastic gasket below. I wasn't sure if I needed silicone and where exactly to put it (and did not want to hire a plumber for something fairly simple like this). Your instructions are clear and simple and your voice and style are very friendly and pleasant to watch (not the case with all DIY videos).
Thank you very much for this video. I'm glad you went into enough detail to explain how things were to be taken apart/put back together. The instructions on the new strainers I bought weren't very descriptive so I was left guessing how much putty I needed to apply without ending up with overkill.
Thumbs down because it over-simplified the removal process... this seems to be a 'staged' repair where everything was partially loosened and easy to remove... when I replaced mine, the plumbers putty on the top-side of the old one was so strong and caked on it took about a half hour with a hammer and chisel to get it off
I love this! No nonsense and straight forward and clear instructions with great camera work. I have a leaky sink strainer basket (just discovered while getting something from further back under sink, and found about an 1/8" of water covering the entire bottom under sink; after trial and error, determined it was the old and decrepit strainer basket that needs changed). This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
This is perfect! Thank you soooo much! Very quick and straight forward with simple and clear instructions. I can now install the new strainer that's been sitting in my "To-Do" box for probably a year! LOL Great tutorial!
Awesome, Glad to hear our video helped you get it fixed without the leak. You're welcome. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave us a comment. Don't forget to give the video a thumbs up / like if you haven't already. Thanks
Wow, perfect instructions. I discovered that the threaded part underneath the sink had rotted the night of Jan 1, thus trickling water underneath for who knows how long, watched your video this morning on Jan 2, went to hardware store, bought the parts and putty, and it's totally fixed now. I was ready to call a plumber because it all seemed so cryptic down there.
Thank you thank you ! . I'm 54 yrs old my fellow is a truck driver currently GONE sink starts to LEAK thanks to your video I replace the old rubber washer along with the tail pipe. You gave this old lady a boost of confidence.
You're welcome, Glad we could help save you some $$. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave us a comment. Don't forget to give the video a thumbs up/ like. Thanks
I went to Menards thinking I would have to replace the entire sink. There was a VERY knowledgeable young lady who listened to my problem and told me all I needed to do was replace the sink's drain. Then she told me the real secret, unless you are tight on time, is to soak the drain in vinegar in order to make it much easier to disassemble. Since our sink has 2 bowls we put a cookie sheet to remember not to use the broken side. We let it soak for a full week before trying to disassemble. I took a hammer and long screwdriver and hit the ring underneath twice. The old one broken into 2 pieces. It was easy. Disassembly after soaking in vinegar, 30 seconds. Next I opened the new drain and looked at the accompanying instructions, which were confusing. All I got from them is I needed either plumber putty or silicone. Off to Home Depot I went where I learned the smallest plumber putty was less than 2 bucks compared to over 5 for silicone. Choosing the putty seemed a no brainer. Not sure how to reassemble correctly the first time with the instructions I went to RUclips, found this video at the top of the list and watched it. The video was clear, short and concise. And it uses plummer putty, perfect. It took less than 5 minutes to assemble. AND NO LEAKS. The old one lasted 35 years. I am hopeful this one lasts longer then me. Great video.
Glad our video helped with the assembly of the new sink basket. Thanks for the kind words about our video, taking the time to leave us a comment and for watching. Don't forget to give the video a thumbs up so it will stay at the top and make it easier for other people to find.
Thanks Jim, I followed your advice. Mine wouldn't budge, so I sprayed the threads and nut with vinegar and waited an hour. It still wouldn't budge, so I held the strainer through the holes with pliers from below, and banged the nut until it came free with a hammer. Once it broke free of the calcium or rust it was a snap to unscrew. Thank you!
Thank you my dude. I just replaced the strainer and the end outlet tee w/ the baffle and nuts. Your DYI video was awesome and down to a tee. You saved me $150. I appreciate it.

Thank you for this video, I need to replace a simple gasket and this video helps me know how to fix it in less than 10 mins and not pay an outrageous amount in a plumper!
HA! That's how I refer to myself when it comes to this stuff. Since I've replaced a strainer and have installed a disposal myself (had to adjust it a month or so later due to a leak), I"m promoting myself from moron to imbecile.
Hey, thx guy! This was really helpful. Let me tell you HOW much: i'm a DIY-shadetree AUTO mechanic (just replaced a transmission on a '91 Ply Voyager, myself); yet i came to *YOU* to help me fix my sink (jamnut wz stuck). Also, glad u said 2use plumber's putty; i prob wld have used Permatex! Thx 10000s.😊
I have heard for the past 6 weeks "I will fix that this weekend" So I watched your video this morning and it is already fixed. That wasn't as hard as I thought. Thank you so much for helping me.
You know what they say...”if you want something done tell a man...if you want something done right tell a woman! Good Job. Wish my wife did DIY without me! 😆
One bit of advice I would add is: When testing after installation, dont just put a small ammount of water in, fill up the sink past its normal working level to have as much pressure as possible on the seals. If it doesent leak now it never will.
I’m a 60 some female and do all my home repairs. Your video is the best! Your voice is calm and clear and the video shots are excellent. Also I appreciate that you do not leave out ANY STEPS and don’t assume homeowner already knows that step! Thank you! Please keep the videos coming! Good luck!
Thank you for this video. I was just about to call a plumber to fix the leak on my laundry room utility sink. It's leaking from the drain. I am retired and don't enjoy these DIY projects where I have to get on my knees or back to fix something. I always end up bruising myself or cutting myself with annoying little abrasions. My son told me to check RUclips for videos to see if it was something I could do myself. I'm off to the hardware store, ready to save some $$$$ and do it myself. You not only saved an old man some cash, but I think I can do this without hurting myself. Thank you. I'm sure the plumbers are pissed.
On the verge of 2020 and I needed to replace a sink strainer in my mom's house. The nut under the strainer looked different and I said "Hey, I bet Diy Guy has a vid on that!" Thanks for having these vids. Saved me a plumber.
Thank you for this video, it was clear, concise, and helped me immensely. I wouldn't have had the courage to attempt this repair without this video, and so far everything seems to have worked out great!
Thank you for the demo, just what I needed! The nut was stubborn as you said it might be, so I sprayed it with vinegar and waited as Jim suggests below, then a few bangs with a hammer freed it. After that, Channel locks were fine for unscrewing the nut, no need for special tools! You just saved me some good money. Thank you.
You're welcome, Glad to hear you got your sink strainer replaced. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave us a comment. Don't forget to give the video a thumbs up. Thanks
Thanks for the video. The drain pipe to my kitchen sink would not stay connected, so I changed out my basket strainer. I paid about $18 in parts from Lowes hardware, and took about 30-40 minutes of work with my son's help. Thanks again.
Here because I needed a refresher before fixing my kitchen sink drain! Thanks for your quick easy explanation! You got right to it and didn’t over or under explain which is much appreciated! Thanks very much and I’m a new subscriber!
I'm 63 years old and this video is giving me the confidence to try and tackle replacing the locking nut under the basket on my sink. The hardest part for me is going to be getting down there, or more so getting back up. Thanks for the video.
Just came across this video at the right time. I went to the big box store today, but their employee told me I'd have to replace all the plumbing as well just to install a new strainer. That thought was daunting so I left convinced I'd learn to love my old peeling one 😂
Thank you! I live alone and my father died last year sadly so I can no longer ask him to fix anything, but thanks to you, I can learn how to do things by myself! This looks pretty easy!
Thank you so much! We moved into our house and the sink didn’t have a stopper and was rusted 🤢 so now we have a new one. Cost to replace was $21. God bless you! 🙏🏻😃😃😃😃

I’m not a handyman by any means, but this vide helped me repair my kitchen sink. No leaks! Great video, thank you for your help.
I didn’t realize I needed a flanged washer on the pipe going down till I saw this video thanks!
I hope to re-use mine, trying to save a trip.
Thank you very much for this video. I'm glad you went into enough detail to explain how things were to be taken apart/put back together. The instructions on the new strainers I bought weren't very descriptive so I was left guessing how much putty I needed to apply without ending up with overkill.
Thank you for making this video and helping a clueless person successfully replace a sink strainer!
Thank you sir! Worked like a charm... After I put the sawzall away of course. Who has 2 thumbs and is now subscribed to this page? THIS GUY!!
I'm just wondering why in the world some people gave this simple, clear, video a thumbs down!!! Trolls gotta be trolls, I suppose!
Plumbers pissed they are not getting a job.

Lots of different people on the web. Beginners, kids wanting to learn, etc.
skaizun I think Ed it thumbed it down cause the Earth is flat... Research.
I love this! No nonsense and straight forward and clear instructions with great camera work. I have a leaky sink strainer basket (just discovered while getting something from further back under sink, and found about an 1/8" of water covering the entire bottom under sink; after trial and error, determined it was the old and decrepit strainer basket that needs changed).

Thank you for this video. I just replaced the strainers of the kitchen sink, and my queen is happy again.
Thank you Sir! I saved Thanksgiving by fixing my kitchen sink with this video... My mother got super emotional... This was huge for me...

I just used this video to make my very first plumbing repair - it was excellent! Thanks!
Wow, perfect instructions.

Thank to this video, I fixed my old leaky sink without a plumber and zero leaks from pan, pipes or anywhere else. Thank you sir💪🏾
Thank you for this video. I was just about to call a plumber to fix the leak on my laundry room utility sink. It's leaking from the drain. I am retired and don't enjoy these DIY projects where I have to get on my knees or back to fix something. I always end up bruising myself or cutting myself with annoying little abrasions. My son told me to check RUclips for videos to see if it was something I could do myself. I'm off to the hardware store, ready to save some $$$$ and do it myself. You not only saved an old man some cash, but I think I can do this without hurting myself. Thank you. I'm sure the plumbers are pissed.
Thank you for this wonderful sink drain replacement tutorial. Sending love and warm greetings from Missouri ♡
On the verge of 2020 and I needed to replace a sink strainer in my mom's house. The nut under the strainer looked different and I said "Hey, I bet Diy Guy has a vid on that!" Thanks for having these vids. Saved me a plumber.
Thank you for this video, it was clear, concise, and helped me immensely. I wouldn't have had the courage to attempt this repair without this video, and so far everything seems to have worked out great!
Thank you for this video. This is the project for today so it was great to see your video to get the run down before I start.
Thanks for keeping this looking very simple, without a bunch of excess info. It's really appreciated.
Thank you for the demo, just what I needed! The nut was stubborn as you said it might be, so I sprayed it with vinegar and waited as Jim suggests below, then a few bangs with a hammer freed it. After that, Channel locks were fine for unscrewing the nut, no need for special tools! You just saved me some good money. Thank you.
Awesome video. Thank you so much. This is such a daunting task for someone who knows nothing about the tricks of the trade.
Gotta love RUclips man. Thank you good sir for taking time out of your life to record and post.
Thanks bro! Followed your instructions once I pulled out the cheap plastic bull crap and replaced with metal, this worked great.
Awesome. You didn't waste any of this video with extraneous stuff we didn't need. Excellent video and very pleasant voice-over.
Great video! With your help I managed to replace my kitchen sink strainer and stop the leak. Thanks!
You're welcome, Glad to hear you got your sink strainer replaced. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave us a comment. Don't forget to give the video a thumbs up. Thanks
Since the strainer I bought said "use a small amount of putty" I was glad to see this and realize that I didn't need to over think that! Thanks!
Thanks for this very simple and informative video. Helped me lessen the stress of replacing my strainer and saved me $$.
Thanks for the video. The drain pipe to my kitchen sink would not stay connected, so I changed out my basket strainer. I paid about $18 in parts from Lowes hardware, and took about 30-40 minutes of work with my son's help. Thanks again.
You're welcome, Glad we could help. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave us a comment.
Here because I needed a refresher before fixing my kitchen sink drain! Thanks for your quick easy explanation! You got right to it and didn’t over or under explain which is much appreciated! Thanks very much and I’m a new subscriber!
Just used your guide today and it really saved me time and money. Excellent guide.
Thank you so much. I did it my self and didn't have to ask for help. I appreciate you so much.
I'm 63 years old and this video is giving me the confidence to try and tackle replacing the locking nut under the basket on my sink. The hardest part for me is going to be getting down there, or more so getting back up. Thanks for the video.
I mean if I can change out the lights on my truck front and back, and replace the grill all in less than an hour.. I should be able to do this.
This was really clear and straightforward, easy to follow. Thanks!
Amazing, Gratitude for sharing. Love the easy simplified directions on replacing a sink basket🤗❤
Thank you for the step by step video, I just changed the strainer basket assembly on my sink a few minutes ago. My wife is so happy. Again thank you.
Just came across this video at the right time. I went to the big box store today, but their employee told me I'd have to replace all the plumbing as well just to install a new strainer. That thought was daunting so I left convinced I'd learn to love my old peeling one 😂
Very nicely done. Specific directions that I could quickly see demonstrated.
Thanks a million!!! Please continue posting these great videos...very easy to follow...clear precise instructions worked exactly as illustrated!
Thank you! I live alone and my father died last year sadly so I can no longer ask him to fix anything, but thanks to you, I can learn how to do things by myself! This looks pretty easy!
Thanks for this wonderful tutorial. Gave me the courage to swap out an incorrectly installed drain without issues!
Just moved into our first house. This is my new favorite YT channel. Nice and easy to follow. Thanks!
Great, Glad to hear you find our channel helpful. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave us a comment.
Thank you so much! We moved into our house and the sink didn’t have a stopper and was rusted 🤢 so now we have a new one. Cost to replace was $21. God bless you! 🙏🏻😃😃😃😃
