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


With the cultured marble they fixed defects like that with a mixture
of ground up cultured marble of the same color and resin. If that is
a cut that's been filled in it certainly could have been filled in
with a better match of material. I would think someone who knew what
they were doing would have made it match so well you would never have
noticed it.
