How to Install a Drop-In Kitchen Sink – Fast, Easy & Reliable

What Is a Drop-In Sink?

A drop-in (or top-mount) sink is installed from above the countertop. It features a rim that rests on the surface, making it secure and easy to install. Unlike undermount sinks, drop-in models are more DIY-friendly and compatible with most countertop materials like quartz, granite, laminate, and stainless steel.

Tools You’ll Need

• Waterproof, mildew-proof silicone sealant

• Screwdriver (or drill)

• Fixing clamps (for extra support)

• Tape measure & marker

• Jigsaw or curved saw (to cut the countertop)

Quick Installation Guide

1. Measure & Cut the Opening
Place the sink upside down on the countertop and trace the outline.
Cut along the line with a jigsaw, following the manufacturer’s recommended size.

2. Apply Sealant
Run a bead of silicone around the sink’s rim to prevent leaks.

3. Position the Sink
Lower the sink into the cutout. Press down to ensure a good seal.

4. Secure It
Use mounting clips or brackets underneath if needed.

5. Connect the Plumbing
Attach the drain and water lines. Test for leaks.

6. Clean Up
Wipe away excess sealant and check that everything is secure.
