Stone Cutting Beacon Hill | Cooktop & Tap Cutouts

Replacing a sink while retaining the benchtop

The outside dimensions of a sink do not describe its required opening. Send the current mounting style, the existing hole measurements and the replacement sink’s template. A top-mount rim may cover a cut edge; an undermount arrangement exposes it. That difference affects finishing, suitability and the work that needs to be quoted.

Details that make the quote useful

Check the cabinet below as carefully as the top. A larger bowl may conflict with a divider, drawers, plumbing or supports. Identify who will remove the old sink and who will install and connect the replacement. If the new template overlaps a join or leaves narrow stone strips, send close photographs before ordering. A sink change is assessed as a complete installation detail rather than just a larger rectangle.

Prepare your Beacon Hill enquiry

Email info@stonecutting.com.au or use the quote form with your suburb, postcode and photos of the whole bench. Include the stone product and thickness if known, the new fitting model and any existing damage. You can enquire before you have every measurement; final dimensions and suitability are agreed before work. Tell us about stairs, parking and the route to the kitchen so access can be planned.

Price, scope and the finished result

Standard cooktop or sink cutting starts from $690 + GST per cut. Tap-hole drilling is $350 + GST for the first hole and $100 + GST for each additional hole at the same visit. These cover different scopes from lengthwise edge reductions or whole-section removal. Your written quote confirms the actual cut, material, finishing and access. Plumbing, gas and electrical work are separate unless explicitly included.
