The tough part is finding one the same size, because if it's not the same size, you need a new counter and a new backsplash and .... You can see how this leads to a totally new kitchen.

If you give a mouse a new kitchen sink…

Is it a drop in? undermount? Is it stainless steel?
I would guess it's extremely easy to replace and you will be very very happy with a new sink.
Sinks are one of the cheapest things in a kitchen, and they're used daily. If you pay 2k you can have the best of all sinks out there.

What brands/price range would that be?

Elkay has a lot. You might have luck there.
Franke, Blanco and Kraus are nice.
Is it a drop-in sink?
I don't know about your countertop material but if it's a drop-in sink, you might be able to cut the opening a little bigger to fit the next best fitting sink.
You can cut corian, butcherblock, laminate on site.
Would not try it with stone or man-made stone though.

Yes,
New kitchen sink same size and configuration but higher quality.

We have the same issue. It’s super annoying.

We bought a new house and I despise the kitchen sink. It’s nearly impossible to get the food and other dirty particles down the drain. It’s like there’s zero slope towards the drain, so using the spray just moves the particles around rather than into the drain. The only way to get it clean is to methodically wipe with a cloth, which is a huge pain. I’ve lived in . . . . at least 4 houses and a half dozen apartments before this and have never had this problem. Thoughts?
