My sink is integrated with the Corian countertop. Now after six years, the area of the sink by the drain looks like there are hairline breaks. How can I replace it without replacing the whole countertop. This was not my idea. I moved into this house after the original owners left. Thanks.

There are Corian repair kits that are a lot of work. You could remove the sink with a plunge router all around the edge and put in a stainless undermount sink, as long as it requires the same or more dimensions. Make a plywood jig, clamp it to the counter, start a hole with a drill, and then rout around the Corian sink.

Hi all

I'd like to see a picture of these "hairline cracks" Nanahaley. If you can post a picture (or two) We can tell you a lot more.

Here, it may (or may not) be possible to simply remove the kitchen sink strainer assembly (or disposal collar if you have a disposal) and sand out the cracks... maybe? Then you would just buff the corian to a decent finish and install a new kitchen sink strainer (or disposal collar).

Can't tell you though without a picture, OK?

Back to you...

Mark
