A discontinued porcelain sink model cannot be replaced without cutting the granite countertop, but granite installers refuse to cut countertops they didn't install, forcing replacement of the entire countertop.

Workarounds Described

• calling multiple places to find a sink replacement
• being told to replace the entire countertop because granite cutter won't touch existing countertop

Implied Software Gaps

• A platform that connects homeowners with specialty trades willing to cut existing granite for sink replacement
• A marketplace for discontinued sink models and compatible fixtures
