I had one guy out to look at it and he gave me a price of $450 to
refinish the entire top. The top only cost $500 so that seems pretty
expensive to me. That guy also told me the entire top had etching
marks on it which really isn't true so I don't feel comfortable using
him.

I was hoping to get it done for about $200.

Shouldn't it be possible to just have someone in to repair the spot
that has the marks on it? It is only on one side of the vanity top.

It may be just as easy to buy a new one. Sure, you can have it fixed,
but the correlation between the cost of new and having a service guy
come out is not there. Is he removing the top and taking it back to
the shop or doing it in place? Time estimate? Doing a "one off"
compared to a group at the factory is much different cost wise.

I don't know if $450 is fair for the work to be done or not without
knowing the process.
