Retro Fit Sink Replacement. Undermount to Drop IN

This a a retro fit sink replacement. The customer had a Fountainhead brand intregal solid surface undermount sink that had the old squiggly lines in the bottom that would not sand out.

The customer was dead set against putting in another solid surface sink and wanted to go with a stone composite sink (Pegasus model) in a drop in application. This particular sink can be installed as an undermount or a drop in.

Every job has to have a good supervisor right? Here was my super for the day.





Here is the ugly old sink. As you can see, the small side has most of the damage.





The process for getting the old sink out is a little bit different on this one. When you do a solid surface sink replacement and you are going to go back with another solid surface sink, you cut the sink free from the countertop at the point where the countertop and the sink meet.

On this one, I can cut out the hole for the new sink and just leave the old sink attached to the countertop material, lift it straight out of the top of the countertop, and then the new sink is ready to be replaced.





Here is the new sink, all ready for washing dishes. I left before he made me wash dishes.

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 broken 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.
