Granite Transformations

Has anyone had any experience of this company? What they offer is very appealing in theory, but I couldn't see any guideline costings on the website.

We have a very small (3mx3m), very dated kitchen in desperate need of a facelift. I would also like new cupboard doors, which I understand they fit in a similar way to the worktops.

Any advice would be much appreciated! :beer:

    I don't know where you are but we ended up having new granite tops, rather than going over the old ones, from this company.

    They worked out very competitive compared to other full worktop installs.

    Might be worth getting a quote before you go for overlays to give you a comparison?

    I can't remember who we had out but overlays didn't really seem to work out any cheaper.

    We used granite transformations and were very happy with the result and the work. It is a mess free and quick solution.

    We were happy with the price we paid, but I don't think it was very much cheaper than replacing with granite new tops.

  • AS said you can probably get solid granite worktops for much the same price. MAy mean going without a worktops for a few days while they template but well worth it in the end.
    I went on a course for a very similar product a couple of years back but decided not to sell or fit it as imo its not worth the money
