All the new cooktop models available even the 30 size that my old cooktop supposedly is require the rough opening in the countertop to be about 1 2 to 1 larger on each side than the existing hole in my granite counter.
Can you recut granite countertops for new sink.
The plywood is placed underneath to help strengthen the countertop.
In case you notice that there is plywood placed below the granite then it is thin and has a high risk of cracking.
Maintaining the same design footprint is particularly important if you have granite cutouts around sink or wet bar areas.
Any advice would be appreciated.
As you can see reusing kitchen countertops when moving to a new home isn t always as feasible as you might expect.
As far as the cost of the recut discuss it with the granite guy and he should be able to give you an estimate on the cost to come out and recut the granite.

But often times the thought of granite means you can t add things to your kitchen such as installing new appliances or sinks because it is set and stone but this is actually not the case.
After many years in the countertop industry we ve come across many homeowners asking if their granite countertop can be cut or modified to fit their.
Is so happens that the quartz that i have in the bathroom is the same with the one in the kitchen so no breaking that is not an option.
You can then proceed to place the cut precisely where needed to make room for the larger cooktop without chipping or marring the surface of the existing countertop.
Would it be possible to have the granite cut and drop out the old sink and replace or cut a new hole for a single bowl sink.
If you are trying to reuse the granite countertop in your new kitchen or bathroom design you are limited to using the existing design footprint of the space so that the old granite will fit into the new space.
Need opening on granite counter cut larger for new cooktop i need to replace my glass cooktop that broke.
Granite can certainly be cut after the face as you describe.
So there you have it.
Cost depends totally on your configuration and granite thickness which can vary from 3 8 to 4 inch in different kitchens and access but i be would be very surprised if the old sink removal cutout cost and new sink install were less than 400 and possibly much more plus the cost of the sink and maybe 200 300 or so plumber cost depending.
It is messy but possible.
I want to switch out the sink for a single basin but i have been told by a couple of plumbers removing the old sink would probably break the granite.
