If it's the same type of vanity we have it's not too difficult.  Ours was held with a few screws and some white silicone sealant.  There was just some water to catch from the pipes when they were disconnected.  We removed it and it gave me the chance to give it a really good clean.  When the shower tray was repaired it just screwed back and we resealed with white silicone again.  The best bit was been able to clean it properly though.

i hope ours will be as easy to do as yours. we are having a day off today, we are waiting for the rest of the awning to turn up i guess this will be fun to do

Repair looks fab.  Hope we can do a good job on ours - we need to sort out around a window - it is completely coming away LOL.  Lots of damp in there and very very soft around the door - not looking forward to that.

hi we did up to the top of the roof and to the bottom  as you can see in the photo and we removed the fixed window  http://www.alanparkers.dsl.pipex.com/caroles_page.htm   the lower part with the pockets had to be removed very carefully as this was our templet,we had a bit of trouble removing it, the two pockets where held in place with four stapples, each side. The pockets then pulled out, in the gap behind the board there was two screws which went through from the front, through the board into the frame work of the seats. i could not undo the screws so as i was replacing the front boarding i chizzled throw the screws between the seating area and the board. once this was done out it came. be careful as i had electric cables running through the right hand side. do not smash this up as you need this as your templet. on the back of this board there is wooden batterning and insulation. also behind the boards there is fiber glass insulation as well. we took lots of photos and kept samples of the wood i removed as some of them was shaped wood as ours had a bowed window.

please also click on my home page this is alan parkers home page this has step by step on doing damp,and other repair work.
