Installing a drop-in sink is a relatively easy project that can be done by drilling a hole in a counter top and using caulk to firmly insert the sink.

Bathroom and kitchen drop-in sinks are available in many different sizes and shapes from all major brands, and counter tops can be drilled to accommodate any of them.
