Default Cracks in granite countertop - how serious ?

I just got installed granite countertops in the kitchen, from
pre-fabbed slabs. I noticed that one of the smaller countertops got 2
cracks, at the very corner where the bullnose meets the wall; one of
the cracks, about 1" long, is in the slab itself, the other one is in
the glued quarter-round of the bullnose.

The cracks are installer's fault (they apparently happened while he was
cutting the slab). He put some glue on them, polished (so it now looks
Ok), and thinks his job is done. My question is - should I be worried
about the cracks, and make him to replace the countertop, or these
cracks is something that happens often ?



Did you pay for a cracked counter top?



Hi,
Wonder if you got discount for imperfect material? I wouldn't accept it
unless offered substantial discount. Just like buying a new car with
scratched paint finish. Good paint job costs a lot, LOL.
