Default New granite - is this acceptable

Did you mention this when it was being installed? I'd have made note
of it and probably not even allowed them to install it. Minor
imperfections come with all natural products but that looks like
sh*t. I hope you didnt pay completely.

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

Ditto. Looks like ****.

If you get push back ask them if they would use such a piece on their
display?

Forget the flip and polish. They should have been smart enough to hide it
up front. If they object, ask how it got through inspections.
