Enlarging existing sink cutout in granite counters?
Comments (4)The proper way to replace a sink in a slab counter is to remove the slab and mount the undermount sink to the rough top, then to reinstall the slab. The slab may not survive the removal intact, and whether it breaks or not will depend on 1) weakness of veining, 2) strength of slab adhesive, and 3) skill and strength of the workers. The shortcut way is to use either a sink designed to mount either top or undermount, such as the Kohler Vault; this gives a very clean look as a top-mount, and a skilled installer could even install it flush by grinding a groove in the slab under the lip of the sink so the stainless sits flush with the counter top. The easiest but least esthically pleasing way is to use a top-mount sink. Yikes. :) Retro/Mid-Century Modern has been "in" for a while, but won't always be hip. I'd stick with Italian or colonial, something that's stood the test of time without going horribly out of style. Though if you love Mid-Century Modern and have to have it, go for it!...See MoreOh no, new sink won't fit my granite countertop opening
Comments (6)I was thinking the same as Trebruchet. A friend of mine had to do this for her new cooktop which didn't fit in the cutout of her previous cooktop. Her granite fabricator came over and enlarged the opening and it wasn't a big deal, though I don't know how much he charged her to do it. That sink is so wow. Don't get rid of it; see if there is a way to fit it....See MoreDesperately need help finding a sink that will fit this granite counte
Comments (4)the person that gave you the granite, what sink did they have in it? also keep in mind that if you find a bigger sink you like, you could have someone come out and cut the granite to fit it. it shouldn't cost that much to do. they can do it on site for you. do you have a type of vanity that is going to work w/that rounded bump-out part? If not, it may be easier to scratch this and look for the pre-fab bathroom vanity tops/sinks included. they're only a few hundred at most. maybe cheaper....See MoreHow to find new shower handles that fit our existing valves?
Comments (4)If your shower is an old style two or three handle shower, California Faucets makes an upgrade cartridge that can convert the Price Pfister valve in the wall to any California Faucets trim, in any finish. Here is a link to the cold side cartridge: https://www.nyrpcorp.com/california-faucets-cw-pp-conversion-diverter/. You would also need the hot side cartridge and the diverter cartridge (if you have a tub/shower set)....See Moremjk2574
