We are contemplating replacing the sinks in our corian counter tops....they are integrated with the counter top surface.

I am not sure cutting out the sinks is a DIY (or not).

Recommendations for someone who has done and does this type work would be appreciated.

I did one about 12 years ago and it was about the same as cutting the hole in formica. It was not to hard, just a little nervous when it was flexing and it looked like it could crack, once we got it in the house it was smooth sailing. Zip, Zip, Zip. Measure it yourself, my brother in law is an idiot.

From what I have seen, cutting Corian is relatively easy, however this is absolutely a measure twice cut once project. The first (IMHO) item you need to decide on is the type of sink, drop in, under hung, and then the material stainless steel, ceramic, etc. I am guessing that an under hung will present some additional problems as you typically will need to drill hole from the bottom, without going all the way through to the top.
Good luck with your project.
