I recently had new kitchen installed and the sink has a tear in it, the company have agreed to replace and pay for the new install of the sink, the thing is I want a better sink but cant find any that are same size and better quality, my sink dimensions are 950mm/550mm, some sinks that I like are 1000/500 or similar, how much work would this involve I e cutting worktop, and units and is it something that can be done.

If your existing sink is 550 mm wide ,you can't have one thats 500 mm ,there would be a gap wouldn't there.
Got dimensions slightly wrong, it's 950/508, so could I get one that is 1000/500, the cut in the worktop isn't as big as the sink dimensions right, so might work

You would certainly have a better chance. Any obstacles below the sink that may be an issue for installing the clamps ( some heavy sinks don't have clamps)
Pics would be useful

Plumber couldn't get all clamps on sink anyway, because of impatient kitchen fitter wouldn't wait for plumber, near left hand side back and maybe righthandside back they used cable ties to hold It down yes I know this isn't normal, but they didn't want to use sealant.
