Scope and preparation
Cutting a benchtop or overhang flush, including finishing and polishing the exposed edge, is $1,490 + GST ($1,639 including GST).

Changing between sink styles may also involve visible-edge finishing, different support or cabinet alterations, so describe that intention before booking.
Discussing your appointment
The plumber handles the relevant connections, and fabrication outside the standard scope is quoted separately. A useful enquiry explains the desired result rather than only saying the sink needs replacing. Replacing a cooktop in a retained kitchen A standard cut-out enlargement is $690 + GST ($759 including GST), with controlled wet cutting where suitable. Have the existing appliance disconnected and removed before the visit, and empty cupboards and drawers near the work area. Final suitability depends on the surrounding stone and support.

If there are visible cracks or the existing opening is too large, explain that before treating the job as a normal enlargement. For apartments, tenanted homes and managed access Provide the full address and the details of the person meeting the technician. Apartment work hours, a lift booking and the owner's permission for alterations should be organised before the appointment is accepted. An agreed quote does not automatically reserve a time; we schedule the work and confirm the date with you. Let us know if another contractor needs access during the same visit.

Choose a realistic repair scope Minor chip repair has a $450 + GST minimum call-out ($495 including GST), with the appearance depending on the stone and damage. Cracks and unstable joins need assessment, and a repair cannot promise to prevent all future movement. For restoration such as burns or stains, supply photos, the material if known and section dimensions. Sanding engineered stone may change its sheen, so the entire surface finish needs consideration before pricing.
