Have an existing cut-out in your granite and need a sink to fit?

This is a very common replacement sink for Kohler, Elkay, Blanco and Franke double bowl undermount sinks (which all happen to be obsolete designs). This is a very expensive sink for us to manufacture. The bottom is one piece, the side is welded to the bottom, both inside and out. Then, the flange is welded to the side, both inside and out. This sink requires about 5 times the labor of an apron front sink. Figure approximately $4800 for a sink like this one. This type of sink is very difficult to build. We have to weld the bottom to the sides (inside and out) and the top flange has to be welded to the sides (inside and out). There is about 5 times the labor in building a sink like this, verses a standard rectangular sink. If you want to get rid of your existing sink and keep your countertop, this option offers a great sink, a perfect fit and a less expensive alternative to replacing granite tops. We make sinks like this all the time. Our customers send us a template in the mail and we build the sink to the exact size of the template. We can walk you through the process. Several customers have expressed initial concern about our sink fitting properly, however - every sink we have sent has fit PERFECTLY!

Our customer owned the sink to the left and wanted to replace it without replacing their countertops. They wanted a single bowl copper sink. The two photos below are of the sink we built them. We can make a sink to fit your existing countertop and the process is simple. Just send us a template (we will show you how to make one) and we build the sink to fit perfectly.

Before..............................After

The most cost effective solution is to replace the existing sink with a custom self rimming (top mount) sink. Take a look at the before and after photos. This was one of the most dimension critical projects we have done in a while. The back of the sink had to touch the back splash of the countertop while fitting perfectly in the sink cutout. As you can see, the sink fit perfectly. Make sure you CLICK on the images so you can see the detail.

I asked a recent customer, who replaced a triple bowl undermount sink with a top mount sink, how much did the project cost and how long did it take? Here is her response. "The time frame to replace the sink was approximately 6 hours (1 hr for the plumber to disconnect, 3 hours for the granite guy to remove the sink and change the granite opening to fit the new sink-put the hole for the faucet and 2 hours for the plumber to reconnect the sink and faucet including installation of the garbage disposal) however it had to be done over a 3 day period because of scheduling (had I known the time involved it might have been done in one day). The plumber charged $335 plus the cost of the new garbage disposal (which I am very happy I did as it appears the old one really had some problems in comparison to this new one) and the granite guy charged $90/hr for a total of $270. Even the granite guy asked about your website for some of his customers. I figure that including the cost of the new disposal I saved between $2000 and $4000 by having you make the sink and getting the great faucet from you over getting a "Chinese" sink & faucet and replacing the granite as would have been required. My husband is beginning to see the advantage of the texture so it is growing on him (he does not like change although he loves the size and quality of the sink and faucet). I am so glad I found your website and spoke with you about the sink - glad you talked me out of a multiple bowl - glad I purchased the terrific faucet from you - my kitchen is so much prettier and I love the sink and faucet more than even I imagined I would. Thank you and your staff for a great purchase. I have several friends who will be green with envy, so of course I will pass on to them your website."
