For my custom kitchen countertop, the installer created a cardboard template from which he then fabricated the countertop. The template fit perfectly against the walls surrounding the countertop area thereby accounting for imperfections such as unsquare corners and walls that were not parallel. Result: imperfections in the countertop such as the one you have did not occur.

It can be scribed to fit the wall, but it isn't getting fixed with epoxy.

The problem is that the back corner was probably cut at a right angle and the corner formed by the walls isn't. This should have been templated. Epoxy will be an ugly fix. Unless you can get the fabricator to redo this with another slab, you should consider a trim piece to hide the uneven gap. The corner of the countertop can be re-cut to match the non-right angle wall, but that would involve temporarily uninstalling the countertop in order to have room to make the cut.

Will there be a tile backsplash on that wall?

I figured it wont be as easy as epoxy.I do not want to use a backsplash piece. The wall behind it is tile. I found this piece of remnant from a fabrication shop. There is no extra slab.

@Joseph Corlett, LLC does scribing entail building up the drywall on an already installed countertop?

@kudzu9 .Thank you. Im hoping it can be uninstalled and fixed somehow. I bought a remnant slab piece. There is no remaining material. I went so many places to find this piece.

"@Joseph Corlett, LLC does scribing entail building up the drywall on an already installed countertop?"

No. This is a wall panel, but the technique is identical.

You can mud the wall out if you don't have enough overhang on the opposite finished end.

^^^^^

Best solution at this point. Now, to find a pro for that!

Incidentally, instead of trying to scribe a delicate material, stock laminate countertops can sometimes be fitted by cutting into the drywall.

Fabricators usu scribe to the wall only IF requested, otherwise, as in a bathroom there will be a backsplash to cover the gap.

Its ready to complete.

@Jeffrey R. Grenz, General Contractor. I do not want backsplash on the wall. It was not in my design plan. Im really hoping they come up with a solution to resolve this. The countertop and undermount sink has already been installed. I wonder if uninstalling and re installing will cause damage to the cabinets or sink.

May be possible they can remove and redo. Is the front square to the cabinet? Alternative would be to build the wall out with drywall mud.

Typically we also caulk & paint the wall to stone seam.

@charlie if I knew buying a remnant that I was told was suffcient for my project would leave me with a crooked cut uneven vanity, I would not have bought it. Thanks

The entire vanity

How about using black caulk to close the gap? Use backer rod where the gap is widest.

Wow, completely unexpected. Nice.

@Jeffrey R. Grenz, General Contractor. Thank you. I love it and really dont want to tear it out. But I also dont want to have to live with the Fabricators mistake, change the design or have future issues. Im still waiting for the Gc and Fabricator to comeback. I think this could have been all avoided with a template.

@wdccruise. Im not handy at all and know little about construction. To me,using a wider caulk line and epoxy sounds more like temporarily covering up the bad cut. I really want a permanet long term solution. Hoping they can figure something out.

"To me,using a wider caulk line and epoxy sounds more like temporarily covering up the bad cut."

Epoxy? I believe you will have to caulk between the countertop and the walls on both sides. You can't just allow water on the countertop to run down the adjacent walls.

@wdccruise. The Fabricator is suggesting to use epoxy to fill in the uneven countertop and then caulk it. I know it will have to ultimately be caulked. Its the epoxy fix solution im not comfortable with

I had a similar situation in my kitchen, it was long ago and I can't remember all the details but I was short 3/8" give or take and they cut a piece and filled it in along a wall. If I told you about it and you went to look you could probably fnd the error but it was 99% good as new. My counter also had a lot of silver fleck and was difficult to work with.

Taking a closer look, mudding out the wall likely creates a problem with the wall tile.

Short of removing the counter and scribing, it will be a disturbing detail on a very handsome bath. Continuing the tile around the counter is a solution that wouldn't look at all out of place.

Also, keep in mind if you remove and scribe, the faucet will be off-centre, requiring a visit from a plumber.

@worthy My husband mentioned the potential issue with the sink being off centered if the countertop is removed and scribed. At this point i dont think I will be satsified with any fix besides ripping it out and starting over. We spent to much money and time waiting for this bathroom to not be happy
