New kitchen counter swelling

    Hi all,

    Had a kitchen fitted recently and they didn't do a great job of sealing the counter join in one spot beside the sink so there's a little bit of swelling already. Is there anything I can do to improve the seal that doesn't involve ripping it out and redoing?

    Get them back,it's a replacement job I'd say as the worktop (s) are compromised.

    Thanks. Was afraid you'd say that. They were shite to deal with. Promised everything and shrugged their shoulders at every issue. At this stage I'd rather just be able to deal with it myself and never speak to them again

    did they silicone in the sink. did they silicone the exposed edges of the worktop

    what do you mean join by sink. it shouldnt be joined there , far too weak.

    Sometimes the stress isn't worth the hassle but to be honest, I'd certainly stick at them for new worktop.

    Ya it was hassle enough getting it installed. I'd rather never see them again. I'll try and get a photo and post it later. It's only a small swelling at the moment. If I could hault it there I'd live with it
