OK, new kitchen is nice but the only thing spoiling it is the laminate


corner joint right next to the sink, which is starting to fail already. It


is impossible not to get pools of water there and not even a perfect joint


can survive standing water for long. So we a looking to replace the


worktops already. Granite is the obvious thing. Worktop to be replaced is


an L shape 3m x 2.5m, tiled with 5mm sealant joint. New worktops plus any


underlay such as ply must total 40mm to meet up with the tiles. Cutouts


for a job and a sink (I'm don't care about an under-slung sink and


drainage grooves). Now, granite worktops seem to have a large scope of


quality (re-inforced around cutouts or not etc.) and prices, thus rip-off


merchants abound.




Anyway, about how much should I be paying for the granite worktop


described above, obviously templated and fitted by them ?
