We just moved into a newer home, the bathroom sinks are the very cheap delta sinks. I went to Lowe's and got a nicer polished nickel faucet. While installing the pop-up drain, I discovered that the drain hole is too small. Can I make, and if so, how can you make the drain hole slightly larger, or do I just need to use the pop-up from the previous faucet.

Thanks

Let me first correct your terminology: You are trying to say that your faucet is cheap Delta brand... correct ?

I am surprised you are not able to fit new drain into your existing sink - especially after you've removed Delta drain from it. What kind of faucet did you buy ? (brand, type, make... ).

I'm with Milo!
What lavatory faucet did you purchase that the pop-up assembly won't fit a standard lavatory bowl? If you like the new faucet simply reinstall the old pop-up. Good luck, Tom
