What this video covers
Marina and Michel upgrade three sinks aboard their liveaboard home in a single day, replacing rusted, low-quality fixtures throughout.0:22 In the bathroom, a handmade salad-bowl sink and a corroded faucet come out; a large new basin and a weighted-return faucet go in, with the installation requiring a precise drill through the last remaining ceramic tile — no margin for error.0:49 The kitchen sink, rusted after less than a year of use, is replaced with a quartz-and-resin basin from Pingu, which required cutting a wider opening in the ceramic countertop; aluminum edging protects the ceramic borders from chipping.6:32 The Pingu kitchen sink includes a rigid smooth siphon (contrasted with corrugated siphons that trap food and cause odor) and a triple-seal drain.7:27 The third space, a small lavabo, gets a round Pingu Labradorita basin to eliminate sharp corners that would obstruct movement and legroom near the toilet, installed as a floating countertop to minimize visual bulk.9:47 A ceiling-mounted faucet is shown but not yet fully plumbed.12:35 The quartz material resists rust entirely and cleans with a single wipe.11:24
