Would it be possible to have the granite cut and drop out the old sink and replace or cut a new hole for a single bowl sink.
Replacing sink in granite countertop.
I want to switch out the sink for a single basin but i have been told by a couple of plumbers removing the old sink would probably break the granite.
Thanks for any information.
There is now way i could match the granite i have to just replace where the sink is.
I just moved into a new home that has a granite countertop with a double basin sink.
If the sink cannot be replaced i will have to replace about 30 linear feet of granite plus about 18 feet of backsplash that ranges from 15 inches to 24 inches high.
The electricity and water are shut off to the kitchen and the sink is unhooked from the plumbing.
Regardless of the mounting you can remove a sink from your granite countertop on your own but you ll need to be patient and careful to protect the stone.
Then sand the countertop down to the scribe line caulk the miter joints and screw the countertops to the cabinets.
Undermount sinks use a series of clips to help secure the sink to the countertop.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Open the lower cabinets and work the sink up into place using the help of a friend to support the sink from above while you move on to the next step.
Allow it to seep into the connection so that the caulk starts to decay.
But what if you feel the need to replace the undermount sink for one reason or another.
After that bolt the countertop pieces together slide them against the wall and scribe the backsplash.
Work your way around the perimeter of the sink securing each clip into place.
My backsplash is also granite and behind the stovetop.
Is replacing an undermount sink without breaking the granite countertop even possible.
Sinks for granite countertops can be installed in one of two ways.
The old sink appliances and counter need to be removed before the granite can be installed.
Finally use caulk to secure the countertops sink and range and use contact cement to add laminate strips to the edges.
