Match expectations to the material
Granite, marble, porcelain and engineered stone behave differently. An edge treatment is not the same as resurfacing the top of the slab. Veining, aggregate and printed surface patterns can also look different on a newly exposed cross-section.
Factory surfaces need special care
We do not promise a factory repolish on Caesarstone or engineered stone. Sanding a finished face can change its sheen. If work affects the visible top surface, the appearance and any separate restoration or protection option must be discussed before proceeding.
Describe the edge you want
Send a close-up of the current profile and a photo of the full length to be finished. Rounded, bevelled, laminated and mitred edges each need a different approach. Existing chips, cracks and joins can limit how closely a new edge matches the rest.
Request a written cutting quote
Send your suburb, photographs, existing and required dimensions, and the appliance or fitting model. We confirm suitability, the scope of finishing, access requirements and the agreed price before booking. Work on legacy engineered stone is considered only within permitted scope and applicable controls.
Straight section removal or lengthwise edge reduction?
A whole-section straight cut and removal starts at $990 + GST. Cutting down an edge along the length of the bench and polishing it, for example changing a 900 mm depth to 800 mm, starts at $1,490 + GST. Cooktop and sink cutouts remain from $690 + GST per cut; tap holes remain from $350 + GST for the first hole; each additional hole at the same visit is $100 + GST ($110 including GST). Confirm the exact section, dimensions, material and finishing in the written quote.

Questions, answered.
Can you polish the whole engineered-stone face like a new slab?
A cut edge and a factory-finished face are different surfaces. Factory face repolishing is not promised; sanding may change the sheen. We agree the achievable edge finish for the specific material.
What does the quote include?
Your written quote sets out the agreed cutting and finishing. Appliance, gas, electrical, plumbing and cabinet work are separate unless explicitly included.
