Adding a tap near a crowded sink cupboard
Take a clear underside photo showing the bowl, clips and cabinet rails. The fixing nut and hoses need usable space, not just a clear drilling position above. Provide the actual fitting specification so the diameter and reach can be checked.
What to send from your Kogarah property
Start with a wide kitchen photo and a close view of the proposed cut. Include the underside if safely accessible, existing measurements and the manufacturer’s installation drawing for a replacement appliance or sink. Tell us about any joins, cracks or previous repairs and describe parking, stairs or shared-building access.
Choose the right scope
Cooktop enlargement, a new sink opening, tap-hole drilling and overhang reduction have different requirements. Specify every change you want included, and identify which cut edges will remain visible. The written quote confirms the agreed cutting and finishing; licensed gas, electrical and plumbing work is arranged separately.
Booking in St George
Your exact address and access arrangements help us plan the visit. Changing from gas to induction needs coordination with licensed trades. Have the gas disconnection and electrical requirements confirmed, then provide the new appliance’s installation drawing. The existing visible cooktop width is not enough to specify the opening.
Price and suitability
Standard cutting starts at $690 + GST per cut and tap-hole drilling at $350 + GST. Final pricing depends on the material, cut, finishing and access. Not every installation can be modified: vulnerable rails, poor support or unsuitable edges may call for another solution.

Questions, answered.
Can the tap sit closer to the splashback?
Handle movement, base size, fixing access and the remaining stone all need to be considered before choosing the position.
Can you work on my existing engineered stone?
Only suitable permitted work is considered, subject to material identification and applicable requirements. Send the product details and proposed change for assessment.
