Adding a filtered-water tap beside the sink

An extra tap needs space above and below the bench. Photograph the intended position with the main mixer in view, then show the sink bowl and fixing area underneath. A hole that looks clear from above may sit over the sink flange, a cabinet divider or a bracket. Check access for the new fitting’s washer and fixing nut before choosing the final position.

Details that make the quote useful

Send the filter tap model and the required hole diameter. If more than one fitting is being added, identify each position and its template separately. The first tap hole is $350 + GST and each additional hole at the same visit is $100 + GST. Plumbing, filters and connecting the water supply remain separate unless your written scope expressly includes them.

Prepare your Manly Vale 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.

Questions, answered.

Can I request a Manly Vale quote before buying the fitting?

Yes. Send the proposed model or installation drawing and photos of the existing bench. Establish whether the opening and surrounding installation can suit it before committing to an appliance or sink.

Will the stone cutting include fitting and connecting my appliance?

The quote identifies the stone cutting and finishing. Arrange appliance, gas, electrical and plumbing work with the appropriate trades and coordinate them around the agreed stone appointment.
