We’re in the process of building a home. We bought the Domsjo IKEA Farmhouse/Apron sink in January, however the cabinets weren’t ready until earlier this month so the sink has been boxed up since we got it.

When the installers unboxed the sink and placed it in the cabinet, they discovered a couple of things: It is a little warped on one side and there’s a small ¼ inch or so extra ridge of porcelain on the underside of the sink along the back edge. Both of these things are not allowing it to sit level on the countertops.

Easy fix would be to return the sink to IKEA, but they discontinued this particular model of sink and I have not found any stores within the US that have any remaining stock. Also checked eBay, etsy, etc.

They have already built the cabinet and cut the laminate countertops so we would have to find a different sink and have a new cabinet built and a whole new countertop island.

There’s about a quarter to a third of an inch gap around most of the sink.

Any thoughts on remedies? If I shimmed some of the sink so it doesn’t move and is level and then filled it with caulk, would a 1/3 inch caulk gap look unusual? I know it’s not the ideal situation, but is it worth it to spend the $1K (or whatever they come back with) to have it all re-done?

Any help/advice would be appreciated!

Having issues with my phone right now, but will try to post photos later.
