We are in the process of upgrading our kitchen. We have purchased the cooktop, rangehood, oven and fridge.
Changes being made to the kitchen are as follows:
1) The old dirty laminex benchtop will be replaced by a beautiful Black granite benchtop.
2)We also plan to remove the tiles behind the cooktop and have a glass splashback.
3) New sink and tap ( mixer with extractable tap)
The problem we face is that none of the splashback ppl are willing to remove the tiles and plaster and paint the wall to install the glass. Some have recommended me to install the glass splashback over the tiles. Is that acceptable? what about the fireproofing behind the cooktop?
Secondly where could I find a stainsless steel sink and mixer tap for under $500. The sink could be smaller than 100x50 in size as we dont need two bowls. 1 large bowl and a drainer is sufficient.
If anyone has a good contact for granite benchtops / splashback in Melbourne please PM me. I would really appreciate your help as we have been waiting for 4 weeks now to get this finalised.
Many thanks in advance.
