I'm dealing with a split sink that's really frustrating—it's not a standard shape and I just want to switch to a single sink. I'm wondering what's the easiest way to tackle this. Would I need to modify the granite countertop, or am I looking at having to replace the entire slab, which might not even match the rest of the granite? I'm not sure if I should reach out to a plumber or a general contractor for help. Also, if anyone has any estimates on what this might cost, that would be super helpful for budgeting. Thanks for any insights!

Replacing the sink should be doable, but if you can't find a single sink that fits the current shape, you'll face challenges. It's best to look up manufacturers that specialize in custom shapes. Getting a countertop person involved might work too, but plumbers generally can't handle granite work unless it's plumbing-related. It might be good to get quotes from both trades.
It sounds like a hassle! Honestly, if the new single sink doesn’t match the existing cutout, you might need to modify the granite. That can be pretty tricky, especially with undermount sinks, since the edges need to be finished properly. I’d suggest contacting a specialized countertop installer—they usually have experience with these kinds of modifications. Just a heads-up, this could end up costing a few hundred to a couple of thousand bucks, especially if they need to replace the entire countertop.
Good to know! But how do I find someone reliable to do this?
