Our builder installed a drop-in stainless sink in our corian
countertops. After a year, we realize we should have gotten and
under-counter sink as we get all sorts of dirt that accumulates behind
the sink.

What is involved in making a switch to an under-counter sink? Is it
possible to basically "patch" corian so that the current sink area
could be cut out and replaced with a new section designed for an
undermount sink with faucets mounted directly to the countertop, or is
our only option complete replacement of the counter top?

Thanks!

Our sink is installed exactly the way you want yours done.

After watching the installers make some rather significant
modifications to our counter after discovering that the the counter
had been made incorrectly, I'd be inclined to believe that a change
like you want could be done after the fact. Major pieces of our
countertop and integrated shelves were cut out, re-shaped and glued
back in place, and the re-work is completely invisible. I guess this
shouldn't be too surprising since the original counter came in three
pieces in the first place.

Whether you could get somebody to do it, or if they could do it
without taking your counter back to the shop for a few days is
another question.
