Planning your enquiry
Start with the work you want done: a cooktop opening, sink alteration, additional tap hole or chip repair. Standard work can be quoted promptly, while surface restoration and complex alterations need a separate scope. Areas covered Ryde, North Ryde, East Ryde, West Ryde, Meadowbank, Gladesville, Putney, Eastwood, Epping, North Epping, Marsfield, Macquarie Park, Denistone, Hunters Hill, Woolwich, Rhodes and Wentworth Point. Contact us with your suburb and property address to arrange availability. A practical upgrade for an existing kitchen When replacing a cooktop, keeping the existing benchtop may be possible if the new opening can be accommodated.
Scope and preparation
The stone around the cut-out, nearby joins and support beneath it all matter. An appliance that fits the width of the cabinet can still require a different stone opening. Tell us the alteration you need; final suitability is checked before the cutting begins. Apartment planning around Meadowbank, Rhodes and Macquarie Park Share lift-booking requirements, loading arrangements and permitted work hours when organising an apartment visit. Check that the person meeting the technician can provide access for the agreed time.
Discussing your appointment
If appliances are being delivered or other trades are attending, arrange a clear sequence rather than asking several contractors to work in the same small kitchen at once. Tap openings and space below the benchtop A filtered-water system or extra mixer needs room both at the stone surface and inside the cabinet. The stone work creates the agreed opening; plumbing connections and the equipment installation are separate tasks. Tell us what you want to add and your suburb for a tap-hole quote. We do not need to delay a straightforward enquiry for a full set of measurements.
Project considerations 4
Match the treatment to the damage A chip can often be repaired locally with a colour-matched finish. A long crack, worn joint or dull surface needs its own assessment and should be mentioned separately. For engineered-stone burns, stains or polishing, send photos, the material and section dimensions before pricing. Sanding can change the factory sheen, and the right scope may need to consider the complete benchtop rather than one small patch. Standard cutting and repair prices Standard cooktop or appliance cut-out enlargement: $690 + GST ($759 including GST).
Project considerations 5
Standard sink cut-out: $690 + GST ($759 including GST). Minor chip repair: $450 + GST minimum call-out ($495 including GST). Prices refer to the individual standard scope; combined jobs and unusual work are quoted separately. Cutting uses controlled wet-cutting methods. For cooktop work, the existing appliance must be disconnected and removed before arrival, with cupboards and drawers near the cutting area emptied.
