OK. I fitted a new sink and it all went well apart from the fact that
the existing hole in the worktop is slightly too big for the new sink.

So, even after positioning it as well as I can, there is still about
1mm gap at one end.

Any suggestions on the best way to fill this gap? I was thinking of
flexible silicone but then I'd have to go alll the way around the sink.

Another option is wood filler but trouble here is the worktop is a
dark, spotty pattern so it might look a bit odd.

I would anyway, saves water seeping under the sink and rotting the
worktop.

I'd have glued and screwed strips of wood around the inside of the
hole to centre the new sink, then bedded the sink in silicone sealant
leaving a small bead all the way around the outside.
