Undermount sink repair or replace

[Kim H.]

Ok so we have an Undermount sink basin in our rental that is cracked and needs repair from a tenant. I’ve found out that this isn’t an easy fix because the slab that the sink is mounted under is generally custom made for the sink. And most places won’t install an Undermount sink for you unless you pay for a slab too. The estimate starts at $750. 

I thought maybe I could just put a drop in sink instead but that sucker is like cemented in. See picture. 

So I’m thinking I’m going to have to repair the slab as well as the sink? And then get a plumber to install the plumbing fixture to the sink (additional $300). Sigh. 

Maybe remove it altogether? Get a stand-alone sink pedestal? 

Any recommendations or help on this?
