Retrofit Hi Macs Sink Replacement. Durham, North Carolina

This is a Hi Macs sink that was somehow damaged. Can you tell. I am curious as to how this got to be so severely damaged but nobody offered any explanation and I didn't pry. It definitely needs to be replaced though. And since they didn't want to have the issue again, they decided to go with a retro fit stainless steel sink as a replacement.




Well here it is. After a few hours of getting the Hi Macs sink out of there and then re cutting the sink cutout to fit the retrofitted stainless steel sink, now it is finished.

The only thing left now is to do the plumbing and since this is a retro fit sink replacement and the drain lines will have to be altered, I had the homowner to use their favorite plumber to do the plumbing re work. He will be in in the morning and everything will be back to normal.

Formica Solid Surface Integral Sink Replacement, Pilot Mountain, NC

Today I did a Formica Solid Surface Integral sink replacement. The sink had a crack in one of the bowls. Notice the yellowish smudge on the crack. The homeowner went out and bought one of those kits that claims that it will fix your cracked sink or countertops so you will not have to call a repair specialist. Needless to say, the repair is ugly and the sink still will not hold water.





The job went great. The customer is a 3rd shift worker. I came in and went to work while they slept. A short 4 hours later the customer woke up and stumbled out of his cave to find that he had a new sink. He was glad to have it done and I was glad to do it.




I can't take all of the credit. I'm sure there is no way that I would have gotten the job done without the help of "Rocky".



Rocky made sure that I didn't slack off. He was a good helper for the day.

Avonite Sink Replacement.

Here is an Avonite sink replacement. As you can tell, this sink had something dropped into it that made a chunk of the sink fall out. As usual, the homeowner was wiggin out over this. He called Avonite directly and they sent me out to inspect and then to replace the sink.

The new sink.



I still have lot of people asking me if there is any repair that can be done to a sink that is damaged rather than replaceing it. There is not. It just needs to be replaced. Of course it is better if you can have it done under warranty instead of paying out of pocket. A lot of the sink replacements that I do are already past the 10 year warranty period.

A typical sink replacement in North Carolina runs around $1100- $1400.00 with the labor to replace it, the plumbing, the glue, and the cost of the sink itself, so you can see why warranties are so important when it comes to your countertop options.

Solid Surface Sink. If It's Broke, Replace It.

NATIONWIDE SOLID SURFACE and STONE COUNTERTOP REPAIR

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If the sink is broken, it needs to be replaced. It doesn't need to be sanded, it doesn't need to have glue squirted into the crack, it just needs to be replaced.

I hate to drive that home too often but it just needs to be said. At least it needs to be said here. This is where you come to find out about this stuff. So there, I said it.

Now, on to some pictures!

See, there's a nasty solid surface sink. Well, the sink isn't nasty, but that crack sure is.


This is what happens to a sink when it is cracked. It has to be removed, then another one, usually the identical model but sometimes different models, will be reinstalled in place. Total downtime for kitchen, under 6 hours.


Now you have the new sink in place and the kitchen is back up and running. At this time I would be giving the customers a speech about solid surface sink care.
