Same process as originally done, yes remove and reinstall. Make sure it is strapped and not installed with the clips.

@millworkman thanks!! So, uninstalling the sink and reinstalling the same sink (to flip it) is possible then? It won’t damage the sink or or countertop? Thanks so much!

I won’t be being this myself. I’ll let our contractor know and he’ll have the right person fix it. I was wanting to know if it is possible! Thanks!! Remodeling is si stressful.

Relax Asley, don't get stressed out, not much longer before you start using your sink :-)

Just do what @millworkman suggested and everything will be fine.

@GN Builders L.L.C. Thanks! I messaged my contractors assistant and he said he’ll check with the countertop guys and get back to me. I thought it would be the plumber to switch it? Now I’m nervous that it’s not possible without removing the countertop first, and the first attempt to install the countertop, it cracked. Ugh!!

No, they installed the sink with the countertop in, so you will not need to remove it. You will need to disconnect and reconnect the plumbing.

Have the counter guys re-install the sink and the plumber reconnect the plumbing.

Good luck

Okay, the plumbing has not been installed yet. That’s suppose to happen Monday but the sink is the wrong way.

So, it’s the countertop people that would uninstall and reinstall the sink?

I was wondering if it’s possible without removing the countertop, and it seems like it is.

Thank you for you help!

Yes, the countertop doesn't need to be removed in order to install the sink, in most cases anyway.

Do you have a picture of what you have there now, if you do please upload it?

Here’s a pic

I've been replacing sinks for 5 years and have never removed a stone or estone countertop to do so. Drop the sink, clean the flange and stone bottom, turn it end for end, silicone the flange, and stap it back in place. Hour and a half tops, plumbing included.

Great news!! Thanks!! Can a plumber do this or the countertop install ppl? Thanks!! Gives me hope!!

Here’s a before they installed the sink, which the drain was on the correct side. And here are some more pics after the countertop and sink were installed.

Seeing the sink on the wood makes me nervous they won’t be able to uninstall and flip it. Thanks!

That damn unnecessary full underlayment complicates things a bit, but the sink can still be switched. Half a day job now. Gotta pull the cabinet front.

Why does the drain need to be on a specific side? I’d leave it.

It’s attached to a corner cabinet. There’s a lot of storage. We had our cabinet maker leave it open for extra storage. I specifically ordered an off-set sink to place on the left-side. There’s actually not a lot of them that can be set to the left. I paid a lot of money for this specific sink to be placed with the drain on the left side. Plus, there will be a separate spray hose on the right side and it’ll be easier to spray/clean the left side with the drain on the left side.

With our garage disposal on the right side, we won’t have access to this extra storage and we have a small kitchen/house, with limited storage.

"Can a plumber do this or the countertop install ppl? "

Neither. You'll want your cabinetmaker to pop your cabinet front off. Then he has to remove the front plywood underlayment then get inside the right side of the cabinet and remove enough of the plywood that the sink can be slid right so the flange will drop off the left side and the sink will fall. Now he has access to the plywood on the left side so it can be removed.

The holders for your strap system will be screwed to the left cabinet side (you'll need blocking installed on the right) and the sink clamped in place after cleaning, siliconing, and reversing. Tighten the straps, pull the clamp, wipe up your silicone squeeze out, and you're done.

This is a real PIA, believe me.
