About kitchen plumbing & sink replacement
The sink is the busiest fixture in the kitchen, and upgrading it can change how the whole space feels to use. Options range from deep single-bowl farmhouse sinks to workstation sinks with built-in accessories.
Replacing a sink in the same spot is straightforward; relocating it means new supply and drain lines and sometimes venting, which raises cost and needs planning.
