A larger bowl needs space underneath

An opening may be large enough at the surface but leave no room below for the new sink’s clips, bowl or waste fittings. Send the sink model and template with an inside-cupboard photo. Note any filter equipment or dishwasher connections. Your plumber needs to confirm the fitting arrangement; stone cutting alone does not establish that a larger bowl will clear the cabinet or existing pipework.

Combine the sink and tap requirements

If you also want a filtered-water tap, include the hole diameter and fixing clearance for each fitting. Check where the fixing nut will sit relative to the new bowl. For a Chermside unit with shared access, tell us about visitor parking, lift arrangements and any booking process. For other properties, a clear equipment route and access beneath the sink remain useful planning details.

Quote and scheduled Queensland visits

Send your Chermside address, clear photos, the material if known and current and proposed dimensions. Queensland jobs are coordinated through scheduled visits; availability is confirmed for your address and accepted scope. Standard cooktop or sink cutting starts at $690 + GST per cut, and tap-hole drilling starts at $350 + GST for the first hole; each additional hole at the same visit is $100 + GST ($110 including GST). Other modifications are quoted for the actual cutting, finishing and access. Appliance, plumbing, electrical and cabinet work should be identified separately.

Suitability before the visit

We assess the existing installation, including cracks, joins, narrow stone rails and support. Work on legacy engineered stone is considered only within permitted scope and applicable requirements. Do not make a trial cut or remove a connected appliance to provide measurements. Send the product documents and accessible photographs first so the next step can be confirmed.

Questions, answered.

Can the new sink reuse the existing tap hole?

Possibly, but the sink rim, bowl and tap fixing must all clear it. Supply both product drawings so reusing the hole can be assessed before an additional hole is proposed.

How do I arrange stone cutting in Chermside?

Send your suburb, photos and fitting specifications through the quote page. We review the proposed modification and confirm the written scope, price and available appointment before you coordinate other trades.
