To replace the supply lines for a bathroom sink, turn off the main water supply valve. Turn on the faucets to dissipate any left over water in the pipes. Locate the area where the supply lines meet the main pipe and loosen the fittings. Loosen the fittings under the sink. Put in new lines, insert plumber's tape around the pipes and tighten the nuts. Then turn on the main water supply and let the faucet run for a few minutes to get rid of air.

∙ 15y agoIf the leak is coming from the threads turn off the water and put threadtape on the threads and tighten. If its plastic water lines then turn off the water cut the plastic line and replace the fittings and put a coupling in to join the cut end and the new piece of pipe together, also make sure the pipe is clean when you glue it. That help?

How do you remove a bathroom sink?
Place some towels under the sink to catch any drips while doing this procedure. Turn off the valves under the sink that supply water to the faucet. Disconnect the supply lines to the faucet. Place a bucket under the drain pipe. Disconnect the p-trap. Drop the trap into the bucket. The mechanics of the sink have been disconnected now the sink needs to be removed. If it is a pedistal sink, look for screws or bolts unterneath by the faucet. I've installed in vanity, those sinks are usually glued to the cabinets. Use a prybar to separate it. http://www.lets-do-diy.com/Projects-and-advice/Bathroom/Basins-and-bidets.aspx
