I am gutting an original bathroom in a 1942 Cape Cod. The existing faucet is a 4-inch spread in a vanity. I want to change to an 8-inch (widespread) with a pedestal sink. Are there issues I need to be concerned with beyond the obvious? In other words, is the piping arrangement in and at the wall going to need to be changed? Or will I be able to hook up the hot, cold and waste lines without any major surgery of the plumbing lines? Would I be simplifying things if I bought a pedestal sink with a 4-inch spread? (Hope not as I like the widespread better.) I am planning on paying a real plumber to do the work, I just want to get a sense of what I might be getting into before I get there (and before I invest in fixtures). This question is not easily answered from Google searches, I've found.
