i want to change my kitchen sink without changing the counter top. Can I use the cutout of my undermount sink to install a new dropin sink?

  • You don't have to switch to a drop-in (not sure if you prefer this design or not) there are replacement under-mount bowls available. – ench Apr 12 '16 at 18:06

Yes an undermount sink can easily be converted to a drop in sink. If you can find one that is close to spec all that you have to do is drop it in and secure with silicone. You will have a little wiggle room given that you have a lip but it might be harder than you think - as undermounts have few standard sizes/look and these are not the exact same as top mounted.

To make your life easier if you can't find a good 1-for-1 replacement with exact aligning you are probably better getting something a bit bigger. That way you can cut counter to meet the exact needs. The other factors are any holes for plumbing. You cannot buy a sink that that just covers up half a hole. I would need to cover the whole hole or be like for like.
