Can a Blaco Silgranit sink survive a re-install?

9 years ago

Long story, we have a warranty issue on our new quartz tops and they are going to be replaced by the manufacturer. We have a Blanco Silgranit sink and based on what I've read on this forum, I am concerned that the installers will be able to remove the sink and re-install it without causing cracking.

Has anyone done this before? Can you share your thoughts with me?

Many thanks!

Did you happen to install the Blanco Silgranit using a "Sink Setter" or some other iteration of such? It allows the sink to be loosened from a frame, and drawn down from the sink hole.

Can you see how your sink is attached to the adjacent cabinetry? Silicone sealer (sink to counter) is not hard to remove, AFAIK.

Thanks, Sparkling Water! I believe they used silicone, so hopefully that's good news.

Remove any mechanical fasteners, then drive a stiff scraper between the bottom of the top and the sink flange, working your way around the perimeter. I've done this many times without damage or failure.
