If you have a cabinet with a vanity top it can be done by removing the supply 
lines at the shut off valves under the sink and the drain line from the trap.  
Leave the trap in place.  The top should come loose.  It may take a little 
effort as most people glue them down with silicon caulk.  Like I said if it is 
a cabinet just build up the wooden portion as much as you want then .  Buy new 
supply lines and a longer or new tailpiece for the sink drain and reinstall the 
top and piping.  If you have just a wall hung the pipes will be worked the 
same.  The sink hangs on two brackets fastened to the wall.  probe above these 
brackets after you have removed the sink to see if there is somethng to fasten 
the brackets to at the new height you wish to raise them to..  If there is 
nothing higher then its tearing out drywall adding lumber etc. etc. etc.  See 
why I siad the cabinet model was the easier.  If there is solid lumber higher 
up then its a matter of raising the brackets and reinstalling sink and pipes.

  Hello Everyone, How much of a disruption and downright struggle would be 
involved in raising a sink? I guess the pipes would be the biggest concern. 
Thank you for any ideas for this dream. Rita
