Kitchen sink replacement

Adrianne C on Dec 12, 2014You might be able to find it on Ebay, or some other site that sells used parts. If the sink you want is larger than the current opening, it can always be enlarged. If you're not able to find it, you may need to replace the granite.Helpful Reply

Sherrie S on Dec 12, 2014@Helen I am planning to have a granite undermount sink installed. Why are you replacing your sink with stainless steel? May I ask the sink brand name of the granite sink.Helpful Reply

Helen on Dec 12, 2014Hi Sherie, The porcelain sink stains too easily for my much used kitchen! I believe it's manufactured by Elkin.Helpful Reply

Julies1949 on Dec 12, 2014If you can't find the matching shape or size, buy one that's slightly bigger. You can then have the hole in the granite enlarged without having to replace the whole countertop.Helpful Reply

Sherrie S on Dec 14, 2014Whoops I read that wrong. Now the question is why don't you replace porcelain with a granite sink @Helen. I only recently learned about granite sinks so I will soon find out how good they are. I currently have a stainless steel sink which is quite old and doesn't stain but it does have small scratches. The granite sink will look great with my new counter top.Helpful Reply

Nana in Texas on Jan 10, 2016Helen, my brother owns a granite/marble shop. He would recommend a professional cleaning and resealing to restore your countertop. I have a light-colored counter in my bathroom. He has always told me not to clean with anything stronger than dish soap and a soft cloth. To restore the shine I use a product in a black container called "international stone polish". Again just using a soft cloth. Makeup, etc. comes right off. You can buy the polish almost anywhere, I got mine from the orange big-box store. Good luck!Helpful Reply
