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

That is a defect bad enough to get it all re-done, if it was a pit in
the granite that they just filled, then its a hack-job thing to do.
For crying out loud they didn't even get it to match.

Also they didnt epoxy the splash to the top or polish the bottom edge
thats against the top, they left it rough cut with a ragged gap. On
my installs the guys will polish that edge too, then epoxy the splash
to the top making the whole thing seamless with no need for any
caulk. They will custom color the epoxy mix on-site even using some
dust from the same granite if they have to.
