Did you select the slab? If yes, did you take photos of it? I take photos when I select a slab - in order to compare it later.

Did they stack the edge or bevel it? Regardless that looks like a repair that could be improved.

What do you mean by "they put laminate along the edges"?

Do you mean they used the same marble material to do a bevel edge or a laminated (built-up edge?

With 3 cm you don't really need to bevel or laminate the edges, which reduces the issues with making those edges.

Just polish the edge of the 3 cm slab and ease the top edge. No glues or extra fabrication needed. My 3 cm Taj Mahal quartzite counters:
