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

I think this has been said a couple times, but the minute I saw it I
thought "That was a missed cut, and they filled it in." I would
insist on a new backsplash. I'll bet they almost figure on you doing
that. As suggested elsewhere, they might be able to remove the
existing piece and polish the other side. If that is from a bad cut,
though, it probably goes through to ther other side. In that case,
they will have to come up with a piece that matches, which may be easy
if they still have the same batch on hand. If they don't, you might
want to look into your right of refusal on the replacement piece.
