Benchtop Refacing If you are in need of a new kitchen but don't have the time or money for a complete renovation then take a look at United Stone Melbourne's kitchen benchtop refacing. Benchtop refacing is one of the easiest and most economical ways to give that dull kitchen a bright new spark. Forget about resurfacing your old countertop with the same fragile laminate and consider upgrading to durable, scratch resistant 12mm stone benchtops. Kitchens take a constant and heavy beating. Everyday chopping, spills, vibrations and changing temperatures will contribute to the wear and tear of your kitchen benchtop. Laminate benchtops are particularly prone to these abuses and over the years will begin to blister, scratch and mark from hot pots and pans, joins will eventually become visible and become prone to water penetration leading to further problems and unrepairable chips and scratches may have occurred. Rather than replacing your entire benchtop set up, United Stone Melbourne offers the most efficient, affordable and simple renovation process with a 12mm stone benchtop overlay. (QuartzStone12) With United Stone Melbourne the stone benchtop renovation process is made easy. Compared to the usual 6 – 8 week completion time, and multiple tradespersons, we can complete the benchtop overlay process in a single day with no mess and no fuss. Here's how: All existing splashbacks can remain in place. The sink and cooktop can remain in place. The existing laminate benchtop is used as substrates – 12mm stone can be simply laid on top of the existing benchtop, the edges are trimmed to provide a perfect square finish. All stone is pre-cut from the measurements collected weeks ago along with your fixed price quote. We'll organise all plumbers/electricians to come in the morning of the installation and return in the evening for re-installation.
