I would ask the countertop people if they could modify the counter on site for a bigger sink.

I asked them and the they said that they could at first and then later said they couldn’t due to the faucet holes already being in there. The contractor and my husband as well as the countertop contractor all said I’d be the only one who would notice. Nothing else is installed or hooked up yet on vanity so I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth the trouble or not to get replacement sinks installed.

It's not too late to change the sink cutouts; the faucet hole placement is irrelevant.

perhaps it's not too late, but I still wouldn't. the sinks look perfectly fine as-is and will look even better once everything else is all installed and finished. I am very confident the OP is experiencing that shock of second guessing a major job before it's finished, like many of us here have personally experienced.

Thank you so much Seattle MCM! I’ve been making all the decisions on this bathroom remodel (and what has since turned into nearly an entire house renovation) and some days I feel like I’m losing my perspective (or my mind depending on the day!). I think I’m going to see if the contractor can install the faucets (or at least one set) and put in lights and mirrors before connecting all the plumbing under the sink and see what it looks like then since I can’t use this bathroom at the moment anyhow.

Just a thought….if you have additional counter top material, perhaps a short shelf or ledge could be built behind where the faucets will be placed. But…remember, depending on your style of handle, you might need the extra space that you think you have behind your faucet area. You can place the handles and faucet in place yourself to judge that. Like others here, I think that you will welcome that space once everything is installed. Good luck!

Kohler Caxton is available in either 17 x 14 or 19 x 15. That extra inch front to back may be a problem. The molded overflow on the underside of the front of the sink may prevent a new cutout from being moved forward and the entire inch may have to come off the back of the existing cutout. The thick wide rim of the sink on the underside may cause problems in mounting the faucets.

I would accept what you have, chalk up to Lessons Learned & live with it. If you sell, then it will be someone else's problem (that they probably won't even notice) or you will change it in a few years when you decide to refresh the look and get a new countertop.

Not that it would be a huge expense to change it now, starting all over with new counter material. And even a different style of sink; I really like the rectangular sinks, personally.

If you want a larger sink, get it.

If the sink is too small, I splash all over the counter when I wash my face and I have to clean up all around.

Not a big deal really, but you are remodeling to suit your needs and tastes.

Every time you wipe the counters, will you be telling yourself,

"Drat! I should have gotten a larger sink!"

Tempy Wright - you can get the faucet and handles temporarily set in w/o being hooked up just so you can see. also set out your toothbrushes, soap, etc. Tack up a hand towel (if the hook isn't up yet). Put out as much as you can so you get an idea of how that area looks like when it's finished.

Re: wiping down the sink every day: not to split hairs, but I feel like that happens no matter what. Such as the dripping that happens when reaching for the tap handles, and again when reaching for the towel. There's always something that needs to be wiped up. I just use my hand towel and keep it on a hook (rather than a bar) so it's super fast to put back when finished.

I got the smaller Caxton sink also. The cabinet didn't fit the front to back measurement of the larger one. This sink style is deep, so I don't think it's a problem that it's on the small side. My vanity is longer than yours and it doesn't bother me. I like having the counter space.
