Any advice would be appreciated.
Replace sink granite countertop.
We have granite countertops in our kitchen bathrooms.
I m wondering can you replace the drop in sink with an undermount sink without replacing the granite.
Depending on the sink s installation style you will need to remove caulk and possibly loosen.
Is replacing an undermount sink without breaking the granite countertop even possible.
But what if you feel the need to replace the undermount sink for one reason or another.
Sinks for granite countertops can be installed in one of two ways.
I just moved into a new home that has a granite countertop with a double basin sink.
However you may want to remove your sink from the granite countertop to repair or replace it.
Although undermount sinks seem to defy gravity they are only slightly different to install than topmount sinks.
The thing with an under mount sink with a granite countertop however is that once the granite is cut the sink stays and if you choose so for a very long time.
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.
Either overmounted or undermounted based on how they attach to the granite.
Next cut your new countertops to the correct size set the countertops down and cut out the shapes of the appliances.
Thanks for any information.
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.
After that bolt the countertop pieces together slide them against the wall and scribe the backsplash.
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.
My backsplash is also granite and behind the stovetop.
Obviously i know the sink would have to be the same size as the drop in or larger.
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.
We currently have drop in sinks.
