Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 26, 2012 3:46 pm I'm just curious what it has cost people to undermount their kitchen sink on a stone benchtop. In my case builder wants to charge $600 extra (granite bench). I understand there is more work required in finishing/polishing the cut edge but I find $600 excessive.

Cheers Hack Yeah but I'm not talking about the sink itself, the price of the sink is not a factor as undermount or drop in is the same price, it's the price of doing a polished edge cut over a rough cut that I'm querying Build Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=57639 Re: Extra Cost to undermount Kitchen Sink 8Jun 27, 2012 3:04 pm We only had to pay for the under mount sink $740, which was an upgrade. There wasn't a separate fee for them to have it under mount. Re: Extra Cost to undermount Kitchen Sink 9Jun 27, 2012 3:23 pm Hi, Our quote to provide polished edge to caeserstone to undermount sink is $161 Hope this helps Cheers Re: Extra Cost to undermount Kitchen Sink 10Jun 29, 2012 2:59 pm The stonemason will have a rate they charge the builder then the builder will put his margin on. The only real difference to a standard sink is the cost of the sink and the cost to polish the stone. can you buy your own sink and just pay the builder for the cut? Pay peanuts get monkeys.
