My kitchen needs updating. The cupboards are OK but I'm unhappy with the benchtop. I'm on a very tight budget - can I lay a new top over the existing benchtop?

Changing the kitchen benchtop is a brilliant way to inexpensively give your kitchen a facelift. If your existing benchtop is laminate, tile or timber, Granite Transformations can lay a skin of 13ml granite on top to give you a brand new benchtop in 1-2 days. This company has an excellent website www.granitetransformations.com.au where you can view the different stone colours and patterns and see them insitu. For your nearest stockist, call Granite Transformations on 1300 305 146. Unfortunately this replacement process can't be used with an existing stone or stainless steel benchtop.
