Vessel Sink

We have a glass vessel sink in our 5th wheel bathroom. My wife hates it so I was wondering if I could replace it with a regular sink. We have something resembling corian counter top. So I do not know if I can cut a hole and plop in a new sink....

  • Is your counter-top "standard height", or lower to allow the vessel sink to be at normal height? Will you have reasonable drain/P-trap routing from the bottom of the now-lower tail-piece?
  • When using a jigsaw, use green painters tape to protect the counter surface because it scratches easily. The tape is good for marking the cut anyway.

    x2. I added a soap dispenser in mine. Just got a hole saw and drilled it out. Stuff is soft. That's why it scratches so easy.

  • There was a guy in Quartzsite that made sink and stove covers using corian. He would cut it with a sabre, jig or band saw depending on what he was making and then sand the edges smooth with sand paper.

    Based on my skill set I would do it instead of hiring it done. So if you're handy and have the tools go for it.
  • Yes, but I would have someone familiar with composite or granite countertops do it.
