Its a Job you can do yourself if your confident enough to handle the plumbing. The waste is the easy bit its dealing with the mains water is the hard bit.

Is your taps connected with copper pipes or qualpex.

Have you looked at youtube to see if there is a video on this.

You have to measure your current sink. You need to know if its a right or left drainer. If your switching to a bowl and a half you will not be able to do this if the dishwasher is in your way.

Its kinda basic enough stuff. A lot of novices use qualpex and push fit fittings to make there life easier Its just a matter of you being confident.
