Trouble finding replacement inset sink

[a62vw]

Hi there,

I have a customer with an old white (and stained) Astralite kitchen sink and drainer inset into a black granite worktop on an island unit. They want to replace it with a ceramic or stainless sink and drainer but the cut out is only about 800mm x 460mm (with curved corners) and I can't seem to find anything that small. The customer wants to avoid having to get the cut out enlarged due to the dust created if cut in situ or the risk of breakage if the worktop is removed for cutting.

Any ideas on if I can get anything to fit that size, or maybe there's company that could make a custom sized sink possibly?

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks.

If it was cut with a hand misting spray being applied (like a pressurised garden sprayer) and the top kept wet would that not minimise the mess ?

I doubt very much you'll get exactly the same size,i always find i have to chop a bit here and there.Maybe best getting something very near and getting a stainless linen which don't scratch and stay new for years which should be the last sink for ages.possibly cutting the top with a 4.5 angle grinder with a water spray bottle,rarther you than me.

Underslung sink? Franke make one thats maybe something to try, another one is getting the sink enamelled or painted, astralite - that's plastic init?

Keep looking mate and grinder versus granite - will you please post a video

Must admit angle grinding a granite top would be an entertaining but possibly rather over-long video.

But it would be a 'Dirty' video though!

I would get one of the stone companies to cut the granite for you as they are experienced in this.

White and coloured composite sinks are bad news. I don't think I've ever seen one which doesn't look manky. The only composite ones which look OK are the black ones.
