About Sinks

We just got granite counter tops put in our kitchen and I wanted a different sink before it got put in (I was not home when it was done). Is it easy to replace on our own or do we have to have the same company that put them in to replace it?

Our kitchen sink was leaking so we bought a used sink (so we can’t return it), but we got it home and it was about a quarter of an inch too small for the hole. How do you fix it so the sink will fit.
the sink is tile and we have all of the pipe stuff but does any one know if there is some kind of counter top extender or something because the only problem is the new sink is like an inch too small in all directions
Sorry, i meant the counter top is made of tile not the sink.

Mysterious chemical-like odor under kitchen sink which can also can be noticed (more subtly) in the kitchen overall. New home purchased 3 months ago. Did some kitchen work…installed new sink, pipes. The odor is definitely not from anything stored under cabinet. It is driving me crazy and I really want to get to the bottom of it. Wondering if it’s sewer gas or some kind of mold/mildew problem from wet wood under cabinet. I’m at a loss and will do anything to resolve this. Thinking of getting an air/gas check. Also, don’t know if it’s related but our plumbing is a bit weak in terms of vacuum/suction. Anybody have any advice? Thanks!

My new kitchen sink doesn’t line up w/ the old plumbing. The strainer side of the sink is about 3 or 4 inches to the right of the main drain line. Can I use an elbow to turn it to the right and then install the P-trap or is there something else I need to do. Please folks I am very mechanically inclined but I just need some direction so please don’t post if you are just going to tell me to get a plumber.

our kitchen sink is clogged and has sitting water in it. i know there is lot of home remedies for clogged sinks (vinegar and baking soda) but i don’t know what to do in my case.
i have already tried draino but it doesn’t seem to help.

ps i do not have a garbage disposal.
