Sink Reveal Not What We Orderes

7 years ago

Blanco sink. We had requested 1/8" positive reveal. We didn't get that. It's flush for most of it. Corners actually are a little negative, which makes them a tad more rounded that the sink. I will say it doesn't look bad. All corners done the same. it's a little more flush on front edge than back edge. I really wanted a positive reveal, but don't know if this can be changed without removing counter. Kind of afraid to mess with it, but it's really bugging me that we didn't get what we wanted. and with the corners hanging over a tad, I wonder if they even used the template. They had the sink and the template. maybe I should ask for a rebate. I dunno, just makes me mad. we were on site when they templated and clearly told them. Although I think it does look okay, just didn't really want that small area between sink and counter that a flush reveal makes on a silgranit sink. oh and we did are going thru GC.

All quartz manufacturers specify rounded inside corner,s or the warranty is void. It's a stress point, and square corners crack. That is why the stone was manufactured that way. Yes, they should have discussed that with you so you'd know what to expect.

I’m sorry you didn’t get what you wanted. I originally wanted a reveal- made myself crazy looking for farm sink that had even edge all around. My fabricator talked me out of it. He said it gets full of gunk and silicon gets gross (not his words exactly). It should have been discussed with you.

Tell your GC it's not what you both agreed to. What will he say?

You don't need to pull the counter, but the sink will have to be dropped. I could drop the sink, recut the cutout, profile and polish the edge, remount the sink and reconnect the plumbing in about six hours, but I'm really good at this.

Joseph Corlett, I wish you were on the job. Ive seen your comments on other threads. and you would have done it right the first time! I do know it's possible to recut, but I'm not sure it's worth it, since it does look nice.

You asked for something specific, and they ignored you. That’s unacceptable. And all these (seemingly) little things that people let slide because it’s too much trouble to correct, turn into bigger things that really are a lot of trouble to correct. Hey, if they have to spend 12 hours (which is what I figure if Joseph Corlett needs six hours to do it!) redoing what they should’ve just done in the first place, then maybe the importance of paying attention to detail will somehow imprint on their brains and this’ll be a pivotal moment in their careers.

Sammy, yep I agree. they will hear about it and we will probably my ask for an allowance because I do think it's unacceptable when instructions aren't followed. However, this reveal isn't a make or break for me. And they did do a nice job for a flush reveal. So to change now would cause ME more headache than I've decided is worth for me. Sometimes that's the deciding factor.
