Plumbing – How to convert a double sink to a single sink

bathroomplumbingremodeling

We are going to remodel our bathroom which currently has two sinks (and not that much cabinet/drawer storage) to a single sink with larger (and more) drawers for storage.

Under the current double sink, the setup is two large cabinets with a 9 inch bank of drawers between totaling about 60 inches wide. Each sink has its own water supply and drainage.

My questions are around changing this to a single sink setup.
Do I simply cap one set of supply and drainage? Can I do that inside the wall, so it is not under my new cabinets at all? Do I need to tee the two supplies and drains into one? I'd like to do this myself and it doesn't seem to hard, but should I just hire a plumber?

I had to take two photos and splice together. There is a bank of drawers (not shown) between each sink cabinet. As you can see the supply and drainage are into the wall.

You should have absolutely no problems capping one set inside the wall. What a great DIY project (:
