Abstract
A sink having a removeable floor is disclosed herein. The sink includes a top portion with a lower perimeter lip and a bottom portion with an upper perimeter lip. A seal is provided between the lower perimeter lip and the upper perimeter lip. A coupling mechanism forces the upper perimeter lip into close engagement with the lower perimeter lip. The coupling mechanism is configured to further release the existing bottom portion from the upper portion such that the existing bottom portion can be substituted for a replacement bottom portion. A rail system is provided to assist with substituting the existing bottom portion for the replacement bottom portion.
