Waht? You want the “block” at the front, that makes no sense and will not give you anymore space. Get a new faucet with pullout for filling pots to soak and wash them in the DW. I just noticed you have apullout so use it to fill the pots.

That is the ledge where the faucet is supposed to be mounted.

They didn’t show you you the sink beforehand? You hadn’t already picked a sink that you would like and insist on?

Solid surface can have that replaced pretty easily. $600-$1200 is an average range.

I’m thinking if the block was on the opposite side it would allow me to place pots in the sink right under the faucet. I can’t turn the water on fill the pot without having to stand and wait. you know? It’s not easy flowing. maybe I’m not explaining myself correctly. I’m sorry.

Prosource

They didn’t. He explained it was a white double sink like I wanted. My mistake for not looking at it first. I didn’t think it would have that block in it.

when looking at other sink with a small block like mine I see that their faucet were mounted on them. Mine just seems really big?

Gahh.. am I wrong for questioning this?

just trying to figure out if the faucet should have being installed on the block and not the counter. Not having much luck looking online.

That's just an awful sink. Wish you had looked at it first. :-(

Chessie - I know!

Honestly, I just don’t know what to do.

I’m sure, I’m going to be charge to redo the entire counter to replace the sink Ontop on now having to go buy a sink. :/

Or, do I ask for the faucet to be mounted to the ledge?

I get what you're saying about the block being in the way of getting things close to the faucet. Would it be a hassle to get a faucet with a longer reach (if you can't get the sink replaced)? Some plumbing stores online allow you to sort by spout length.

I think Prosource is correct--that the block is the mounting deck for the faucet. It's actually a really nice feature that keeps the counter clean and dry and it's absolutely worse than useless when the faucet isn't mounted on it! (A recessed faucet deck like that is a feature I have had in the past and miss ALL THE TIME. The sink does have to be large enough to house it and still have room for big pots, though.)

You might be able to negotiate a discount on a redo based on the fact that the faucet is installed incorrectly, or that the sink is inappropriate.

I think he was looking for someone to dump this sink on, honestly. Who would want something like that?? I would definitely get a different sink. Gonna have to bite the bullet on this one.

Here is an image of the sink I had in a prior house. Mine was pink. It is definitely laid out better than yours with at least one large bowl, but it was extremely functional. Faucets are messier on counters, even though that's the current trend!

Fori.

I will ask the owner of the company when he comes out. (We‘re having a lot of problems with his workers doing things incorrectly (They re did our bathroom and they have to redo the floor because his guys messed it up leaving us with a huge step up going into the bathroom, the dry wall is peeling off as I paint the list goes on) :(

Chessie-

I think you might right there :( If they won’t fix the faucet placing it where it should be looks like I’ll be buying a sink. I just thought. They’ll be a big hole where they move the faucet from where it was. Gahh!

Thank you for your help!

very much appreciated!

It’s solid surface. Not stone. Plugging those holes is easy. You’ve got a whole sink cut out as material to use.

Are you even going to be able to fit a backsplash behind the faucet? Can you even get your hand behind to clean the back of the faucet? It looks like the sink cutout should have been moved forward just a bit.

I can get behind there to clean, there’s a little room there for the back splash.

Joseph. Thank you so much!

You have been extremely helpful. For the life of me, I couldn’t find my Sink online anywhere, I now have a name. I was hoping to find some reviews on the sink, but no luck.

Plastic counter tops? I didn’t agree to this. We thought the counter tops felt weird (Different) and they are staining so easily! Gah! Look‘s like we may need to talk to the owner about this also.

If the faucet is installed where it’s suppose to be, I think the sink will work just fine.

But then, I’m worried I’m going to be charged to fix this. :/

Your counters are laminate. I'm assuming you contracted for laminate? It's a perfectly fine countertop material.

It’s sounds as though you’re not the one making decisions on your remodel. What countertops you put in should be your call, after you’ve made those decisions up front, not the contractors. Why don’t you replace the sink with a single bowl instead? It’ll be much more functional.

I prefer a double bowl - "more functional" is completely dependent upon how each person uses their sink. I love my Kohler large double sink, and would never trade it for a single bowl. BUT, I would hate the sink that the OP has - and I agree that a single bowl would be better than that thing.

I agree Chessie. I love the double bowl As well.

I think I’m going to ask if they will place the faucet of the faucet ledge where it’s suppose to be and keep the sink. Thoughts on this Would be much appreciated.

@Nermin Rogers Take note that @Joseph Corlett, LLC said above that your sink is actually properly installed. See his links.

Okay, maybe I miss understood.

I thought that the “block” (faucet ledge) is where my faucet is suppose to be, not actually on the counter?

No, the sink is currently properly installed. See @Joseph Corlett, LLC links. There were a few others who suggested the opposite, but Joseph is a sink pro and does this for a living. He even identified your sink by name. It is correct as it is.

@Aglitter Okay. please excuse me here. Just trying to understand the purpose of that ledge if the faucet isn’t installed on it. @Joseph Corlett, LLC Am I incorrect for asking to have the faucet moved to the ledge?

I thought I understood that, that’s what the ledge is for?

oh goodness. I’m sorry. I’m clearly totally clueless here. Hence why I’m on this site.

just trying to clarify. Thanks

I think he agrees that it was installed wrong, but he's not convinced it's an easy fix.

I'm sorry @Nermin Rogers, I went back and re-read Joseph's comment, and his wording was a little misleading which made me misunderstand. At first he says the sink is "properly installed," but he is meaning the sink itself. Then he goes on to say in essence that the faucet should have been installed on the deck and that moving it will not allow any type of inconspicuous patching. I got sidetracked by the "properly installed" statement. You can see at the link he provided that the deck is labeled a "faucet deck" here: https://www.karran.com/product/hampton

So, that takes us back to the fact that your installers messed up. A new countertop should be their responsibility to fund and replace. This is the time to switch sinks if you aren't happy.

@Aglitter Thats what I thought.

Thank you all so much for your time. You have been very helpful!!!

Yeah...the sink actually looks great. It's that darn faucet that's wrong!

Good luck. I hope you can get this fixed without much expense.

I found a pic of the sink with the faucet in the deck here

What an awkward sink. When 'correctly' installed it would be nearly impossible to clean around the base of the faucet.

Hopefully your counter fabricator will admit their mistake and switch out the sink. When they do move the sink forward so the faucet isn't crammed up against the back wall.
