Must Hack Kitchen Top To Change Sink?

[A1677 0]

We bought a resale condo. The ex-owner renovatd the kitchen a year ago with white colored kitchen table top and cabinets but the kitchen sink is black in color like those from Blanco. Considering the kitchen is only 1 year old, the sink is already very dirty and has accumulated lots of yellow stains at the side and base. I wanted to replace the sink as I can foresee that future maintenance will be a challenge but my ID advised against it. He said the sink is made of granite-like material and he can wash it for me. If I really want to do, I will need to hack the kitchen top and may also spoil the cabinet so may end up making a brand new kitchen table top + cabinet. Anyone any advice? Many thanks.

P/s: I tried to insert the pics but failed so not able to share the pics.

To fit the new sink, the whole solid top must be remove and brought back to the factory using machine to re-cut the new size for the hole of new sink. The problem is NO one want to do this kind of service, hacking of solid top will also damage the cabinets below, who want to bear the damage cost? You? Your ID?

So if you insist to change the sink, the whole set (solid top + cabinet) has to go. I suggest you spent that few thousands, it's more easy to bear than the constantly nagging/suaning from your wife.
