Replacing a sink in a tile counter
Comments (1)If you can get matching tile, & you are really, really careful, you might be able to do it with just replacing the tiles around the sink, but in most cases it just doesn't work well and you will need to replace all the tile, or go with another counter surface....See MoreI love my sink!!
Comments (45)Just had to tell you... I sent your tile link to my carpenter's wife when I saw it and told her that's what I want for a backsplash. Tell her hubby to get ready. She either didn't tell him or he's in denial because I also printed it off and left it in a conspicious place when he was working here. He's a tile setter/carpet layer by trade. He never once mentioned it. He'll be back for the shower;-)Should I just surprise him and say, "Let's do something like this!" and put your photos in his hand? Anything I suggest after that should be a sure thing. I'm willing to compromise....See More50yr tile counter w / porcelian sink. ikes!
Comments (1)It sounds like to me that you are trying to save something that is basically not saveable. Tear it all out saving as much as possible and start with new cabinets....See Moreundermount, tile-in, apron-front, with faucet holes?
Comments (10)Hi Fori, My sink has flanges. One of the last sinks made to be tiled in. :) Talk to your tile setter. The big issue is how to support the sink, not whether it can be made to look the way you wish. It might need to have supports built, or the tilesetter might be able to use the regular mounting brackets with your substrate. There's also the question of whether you'll have a proper mortar bed (best quality, most bother, mess and skill), or if it'll be some kind of baking board, and how that works with the sink. Your tile setter will know. You need a master tile setter. This isn't a good DIY project. So long as you have quarter round, however, you can overlap the edges of the sink the same way you would if it were undermounted. The actual mounting system is different, but it's the same look....See MoreFori
