Project scope
What we did
The job
A new drop-in basin going into an existing counter, where one chipped edge is permanent. We templated the basin, scored the surface along the cut line to stop chip-out, cut the opening, eased the edges, then dry-fit the sink to confirm an even reveal before sealing and setting it.
The problem
A new drop-in sink that needed an opening cut into an existing counter without chipping the laminate face.
Our recommendation
Template and score before cutting, and always dry-fit before sealing — a 10-minute check that prevents an unfixable counter.
The result
A clean, chip-free opening with the sink sitting flat and an even reveal on all four sides.
