Hi all...quick question 
I am changing my sink. Don't want to over complicate so buying same measurement. Question- can I swap the sink around so the drainer is on the opposite side? Or would that cause complications? 

Thanks!

    the waste would be in the wrong place 
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.

    Not too difficult to alter the waste pipe.  
    Whether you can swap sink and drainer will depend on what is below them.

    Is there a tap hole in the new sink? If so turning it around will mean the hole is at the front instead of the back.

    There is normally a hole for the tap on both edges of a sink.  The unused on simply gets covered with a blanking plate.  Those holes will probably not match with the current pipe positions once the sink is effectively turned 180 degrees.  Not difficult to reroute the pipes.
