I just got a quote couldnt believe it confused: the following is the email from the guy
If you want a cheaper alternative to repair the bench you will need to cut out section where sink sits in. This will leave you with joints either side of the sink. However if cupboard below does not line up with the joint then the whole bench will need to be replaced.
Estimate of repair to black granite will be between $1500 to $2000.
Estimate of replacing whole bench section $2500-$3000
Plz could anyone point me to a more affordable option thx.
