Default New granite - is this acceptable

PB2 wrote:
Hi,

I just had a new granite counter top installed in a new bathroom. We
don't have much experience with this kind of thing and noticed this on
the back splash (see image). The line you can observe is not stone,
but something softer (some kind of epoxy).

Is this kind of thing acceptable? I know natural stone isn't perfect,
but in my opinion this looks bad.

How can they fix something like this? Is it possible to remove the
backsplash or will they have to replace the whole counter top?

I haven't been able to connect with the stone person yet, but should I
expect push back?

Thanks,
PB2

The backsplash is unacceptable. The vendor should replace it and match
the replacement to the counter top. If he cannot match them he should
replace both the splash and the top. It's hard to believe that a
responsible vendor would try to pull this crap on you,
