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!!

Thanks, I'll keep that #. I used Burns Woodworking to epoxy the chips. We sealed it ourself.
