Retrofitted TopZero Kitchen Sink

Yes, it's possible to remove your old kitchen sink and have a TopZero installed. The quality of the sink is amazing as is the look. This is a 33" sink in a 33" cabinet:

    Amazing work as always, Joe. Thanks. I don't know anything about TopZero sinks but am intrigued. How can a 33 inch sink fit in a 33 inch cabinet unless the sides are significantly scooped? I Were you able to replace it on site without removing the countertop? You do have some wizardry!

    The cabinet sides are significantly scooped, however, they are replaced with the sides of the sink. The sides/bottom of the sink are supported by blocking screwed to the remaining cabinet sides.


    The sink was installed without removing the countertop.


    Thanks.

    So much sleeker looking than the traditional undermount sink.

    I've installed several TZs over the years; no callbacks. There is no resealing on a proper installation.

    Thanks. Unfortunately I'm in Florida and we'd have to get really slow to take a job that far away. I did get a lead on a job in Missouri recently; maybe I should go national.


    Perhaps you could find a retrofitter on www.stonefabricatorsalliance.com or on Facebook at All Slab Fabbers.

    Hi - I totally understand. :) Thank you for your reply.


    The local company (Metropolitan) from whom we are purchasing cabinets for a kitchen remodel would like us to also purchase the stone countertops from them. But they tell me they distrust the TopZero sink, and they won't agree to install it.


    In their defense, they say they are trying to protect us from an inferior product.

    I would prefer the TZ sink, so I'm looking for a different stone contractor.


    I've been to one showroom that had a TZ installation on display and it looked really nice. I'm a a loss to understand why Metropolitan dislikes the product so much.


    Thanks for your time (and I'm happy for you that you're busy!).

    Properly installed, the TZ is an excellent sink.

    No callbacks on any of mine.

    Wow. So it IS possible-- that's good news.

    I did find a manufacturer who has put in three of the TZs. I guess I will go with them. Would it be reasonable for me to ask if they can offer me some kind of guarantee that if the installation looks sloppy that they will redo it?

    Thanks again that's the last time I will bother you.

    "Looks sloppy" is kinda subjective. I'd try "per manufacturer's installation instructions" please. Find some pictures that you agree on.
