don't know if they can do it, but call Granite Solutions (352) 728-4400. they put in my granite and I'm sure could tell you if they can do it.

Call warranty back, explain the problem with the missed appointment and that you are very disappointed with the contractor.

If this fails, I have had very good luck fixing a small chip with high quality CLEAR epoxy glue. The trick is getting the glue to stay in place while it hardens. I used tape, and then very carefully leveled and polished the glue after it hardened. That was done around a year ago, and I would need to look for the repair.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. They fixed the chips today. I watched carefully in case I need to patch another chip myself with epoxy glue. They are going to seal the granite next.

We decided to follow u-tube and seal granite ourself. Kitchens done, looks beautiful. Next are the baths. And then I'll work on stains on my marble tables! I guess you can tell we are Italian!!
