Top Mount Retrofit Farmhouse Sink: Cracks in your granite around the sink? My Patented Design Retrofit Apron Sink can fix this without having to replace your counter or modify your cabinetry. Shorter apron with channel behind apron to slip over your existing cabinet.

See Pricing.
Schedule a personal phone discussion to design and price your sink here.

If you need someone to cut the granite for the installation, call me. I can help you find someone in your area that can do the job!


We also specialize in replacing the Ikea Dobson, Domsjo, and Havsen sinks.

Replacing your countertops and keeping your cabinetry? I can do that as well - without cutting up your cabinet.
Check out my Patented Design Retrofit Farmhouse Sink that can install in less than 30 seconds. Please watch this horrible video.

(I am the king of impromptu videos - often lacking in professionalism.)

I designed a retrofit farm sink that will easily install in existing cabinetry. No need to cut up your cabinetry or have new doors made for the sink cabinet. The video to the left demonstrates an under mount installation. We can do this as a top mount too! Keep your countertop. (Check out my sexy legs in the video!) Our sink has an open channel behind a shorter apron. The open channel fits over the existing cabinetry face frame after you remove the false drawer heads. Our design has been copied by a few companies, with less than desirable results.

Click on the images below. You will see one of hundreds of top mount retrofit farmhouse sink installations we have done over the past 18 years. Top mount or under mount. We have the solution. Now there is a better solution to cracked granite around your sink. See More

It can be done, only at Rachiele. I was awarded the patent on this design. (Copper and Stainless sinks available with this design) Sadly, several companies have copied my design. I believe the Paragon sink by Native Trails is an attempt at a duplication of my original design. The problem I see with their product is that this type of sink requires precision and Native Trails indicates their sink dimensions are + or - 1/2". (Really??? my head is about to explode.) Ours are exact dimensions. This is metal for Pete's sake - not bread. My sinks are custom made to your situation. When you are retrofitting there is NO room for error. In the 18 years I have been doing this, every sink has fit perfectly! My 40 years of experience as a professional kitchen designer gives me the ability to see potential problems, and solve them, before they happen. I will walk you through the process from beginning to end.

Some areas of the country use a thinner granite than what we see in this part of the country. The typical installation is a 3cm thick granite with no substrate. If you use a thinner granite (and use a substrate) you will have to install the sink on top of the substrate and add that dimension to the overall height of the apron. The leading edge of the countertop will have to be notched around the apron. I will go over these details with you. I will make sure you have a complete understanding of the design and you feel comfortable throughout the process.

Our customers often send photos of their finished kitchens. We would love to see yours!

  • This is a retrofit copper top mount farmhouse workstation sink with a rear deck for a faucet, etc. No cutting was required on the cabinetry. This sink replaced an under mount double bowl sink.


    I design at least one retrofit sink a week. If you want a farmhouse sink and have an existing top or under mount sink, the process is easy. A few simple cuts in the counter top and the sink drops in. There is a channel behind the apron that slides over the existing cabinet frame. All you do is remove the false drawer heads. I have a patent on the design. All of these sinks are custom designed to fit perfectly.
  • We can manufacture these patented sinks in stainless steel or copper (as shown).


  • This was the retrofit farmhouse sink in our office kitchen.


    One of hundreds of retrofit sink situations that resolved a cracked granite countertop without having to replace all of the granite.

  • This is an "after" photo sent in by the homeowner. They said it was a Perfect Fit!


    In this case, our client replaced their counter tops but kept their cabinetry. You can use your existing sink base without cutting the cabinet at all with my design.
  • This is one of our drop in retrofit patented designed workstation farm sink.


    We delivered this sink during Covid times and our customer was not able to have onyone over to do the work, so he decided to do it all himself!

  • Before and after... The results are stunning. They were able to keep their countertop and tile the backsplash due to my patented apron front design.


    This is one of our most common requests. I have over 20 years of experience designing this type of sink and every sink has fit perfectly.

  • Retrofit top mount farmhouse copper workstation sink replaced an old fashioned double bowl sink. Rear deck to the wall.


    This type of installation can be accomplished in one day. You will have your sink ready by dinner time!
  • This is a close up shot of a TOP MOUNT apron front sink


  • Photo taken just after the granite was cut, then just before the plumbing was hooked up to the sink.


    This was a local project where I had the ability to oversee the process, take notes and get accurate costs for the work done as well as how long the project took to complete. This particular project was easily the most difficult of situations. Even so, the entire project was completed in 8 hours. I truly expected a bit more granite dust. The gentleman that did the work left the place quite clean - with little for the homeowner to do other than minor cleaning.

  • This is a drop in retrofit farmhouse apron sink. I have a patent on the design that allows for no cutting of the cabinetry. Use any cabinet with false drawer heads.


    This retrofit farmhouse sink was quite special. The owners have a rustic wood countertop.

  • Custom design fixed a huge crack problem in the existing counter.


    Dino, I was completely unaware of what styles and designs were available for a kitchen sink when my wife and I started looking. Home Depot & Lowes didn't offer us the unique style or custom look we had in mind. With a little on-line research we came across your site and my wife fell in love with your custom apron front copper sink! It was a perfect fit for our new kitchen remodel. You and your company went well above our expectations to make sure we had the sink delivered in time for our scheduled completion date. Your sink is really a work of art, and certainly a topic of conversation when guests see it. Thank you! Sincerely, Rodney West Phoenix, AZ

"I wish I could give more stars! How many times do you get to deal directly with the owner in all your transactions? He gave us his cell phone number. A remodel is stressful enough so it's nice to come across real customer service. He's not a salesman - he's an educator. The copper apron farm house sink is beautiful. Thank You Rachiele!" Tony Evers 2016
