Replacing an inset sink

[randlemarcus]

Easy enough you might think. Problem is that the sink is 1109mm wide (long draining board), and no bugger does one I can find. I really dont want to replace the entire worktop, but in the absence of bright ideas...

Presume you mean top mount rather than inset?

Double sink version any good to you?

Sadly, the bowls are too wide for the cupboard they sit in The "top mount" may pay off, back to Google, and thankyou

Is there a particular reason the unit needs to be so wide? Obviously the existing cutout should only be as big as the sink itself, there should be worktop under the drainer section. So if you can clean any sealant residue off the worktop then normally it would be ok to fit a smaller unit - you’d just be exposing a bit more worktop that used to be covered by the drainer.

The existing unit is cut out where the drainer goes, so the drainer is now a secondary, very shallow bowl. Eejits.
