Has anyone used GT Launceston/Invermay, Tasmania for a bathroom renovation? Has anyone anywhere used engineered stone on the bathroom floor or shower wall, and what’s it like to live with, clean etc? Thanks for your help.

Has anyone used this system on Gold Coast? Some parts of country seem to have issues.

I originally couldn't recommended this company enough. Supurb service, polite, prompt. BUT, 5 years down and all the laminate from the cupboard doors is separating. Called Granite Transformation. They said I'd have to find the original paperwork. They don't keep on file/computer. Given I've recently moved out and rented out my place, with all my stuff in storage it was difficult to get it. Not interested! I even asked if they could look at it given they are the experts, and I will pay to repair it. Not interested! So very very surprised and disappointed at response given it is supposed to be a premium product. No problem with Bunnings cupboards I had put in laundry at same time. I now would NOT recommend this company, as the stress it causes just a few years in when it all starts to fall apart is not worth it. Btw: I used NSW store, but I assume they all use same glue for panels. But maybe gold coast suppliers may be more helpful? But, you'll only find out when it starts to fall apart.

They seem pretty on the ball. You can have a look at their instagram account to see projects they've done and get more info @granitetransformationsgc "Nathan took over the business in 2020 and injected so much energy and new life into the Goldy, along with his fine skills in stonemasonry and tiling. If your kitchen, bathroom, or laundry could do with a makeover, you’d be lucky to have Nathan and his sidekick, Keaton’s, workmanship. Pop in and visit their showroom at 3/7 Flint Court, Varsity Lakes and chat with Sara about your next home renovation project."

Is it possible to remove the overlay and return to the original caeserstone countertop that the overlay went over? I loathe the colour the previous owners chose for the overlay. If this can be done is it a service granite transformations do?

Hi, About 2 or possibly 3 years ago, John from Penrith store come to give me a quote to renovate my bathroom. He was there for about an hour, we discussed my options and he explained how they install the granite sheets. Even though he told me that they don't do many bathrooms he was still going to give me a quote and mentioned who he had in mind to do the job.

A few weeks past and I hadn't heard anything from him, so I called numerous times and then called into the Penrith branch some weeks later - to be told that John would call me in a few days. .....I have never received a quote or phone call to follow up since the initial call out.... still waiting.

The disappointment is two fold - a) I have no idea how much the job was going to be and if it is worth pursuing and b) I am still interested in the product and the concept of not having tiles in the shower area, no more trying to keep the grout clean. Now that a few years have past the range of products and styles has increased and it is even more appealing. I am hoping by using Granite Transformations that my bathroom renovation would be a more economical option than a full renovation.

What are my options? I don't really want to have deal with Penrith? I see there is now an address for Prestons which is a lot closer to me. Do they have a sales and service team that can quote, explain the process and install with some professionalism?

Thanks

We used Taren Point/ Caringbah, and I think every branch is a different contractor, running their own show. From the showroom friendliness, to the measurer, to the tradies installing, we had no problems and the kitchen splashback in the same material is the best thing I have ever done!!! 3 months down the track and we are exceptionally happy with the product, workmanship and professionalism of this branch.

Wadey
Wadey  

Thanks Eileen, that's great, I have been impressed with what I have seen and I would really like to see how much it would be to 'transform' my bathroom. The situation is though, I believe they are Franchises and they refer you to their local branch so they aren't treading on anyone's toes. I am hoping I can deal with another branch and then receive the service like you and others have experienced.

I have not seen good reviews for Caringbah branch yet. Before I press go on this, any recommendations or otherwise on GT Caringbah? Thanks.

We personally found them to be very professional and helpful in comparison to some other tradies we’ve used in the past. There were obviously a few things along the way but nothing that couldn’t get sorted out. My tips:

- Check everything during the quote (eg decide where your drawers are going to go, how big etc). Also you deal with a few different people along the way - the person giving the quote, someone doing the check measure, plus the installer - so you have to keep track of everything meaning you might have to relay the info a couple times!

- We actually bought our own handles somewhere else and used those instead. They also have a catalogue that you can look through that has all of the options which is worth looking at.

- Finally we did have an issue with our sink but they came around and fixed it straight away, no problem. Hope that helps!

I have only had my benchtops covered with the engineered stone in May this year. So far I am very pleased with the product and workmanship. It looks marvellous and so easy to keep clean.

Hi Paula. We have had the granite transformation for about 9 years now and can not fault it. Wonderful product easy to maintain and you don't have worry about sitting hot things on it, cutting on it. We have also 2 rentals which we have used this product as well. Just about to do a new kitchen and we would not consider using other products. All I can say is we have found it a wonderful, easy to clean and serviceable product which only requires a wipe down

Thanks all, We installed this product on our old bench tops and love it! it really has transformed and modernized our tired old bench-tops.

I have had a great experience with the Wollongong branch and wouldn't have any problem recommending them.

Looking at employing the services of GT Nepean. Please let me know about your experinence in quality of materials, workmanship, service, price and overall satisfaction.

I see that you asked this back in May 2016, so not sure if you're still after a reply. I had my kitchen done by GT Nepean in July 2015, and am very happy with it. Please see my review for the few minor difficulties I had (re measurements), but overall, I feel I can recommend them for a quality kitchen at less than half the price of other quotes I received. Ian, their installer is by far the best and most meticulous tradesman I've ever dealt with.

Anyone used GT Perth? I have a quote to redo my benches but having read all these reviews now am not sure that I want to. Might just bite the bullet and get complete new bench tops rather than overlays. My kitchen is only two years old but the benchtops (laminated) are so badly joined and now fraying we have to cover up the kitchen company stuff up. (Wouldn't recommend Kitchen and Cabinets Creations either).

Hamptonroses

Hi there Heather, Sorry I haven't had any experience with GT Perth, but I can say that I am very happy with my overlay bench tops from GT Nepean. Whilst it's only been six months they are still as good as new - but I guess time will tell. Sorry I can't be of any further help, and I hope you have much success with whomever you choose to go with.

thank you for your response. I just dont want to get ripped off again. I am looking at a company Rapid Stone in Perth so if anyone out there has dealt with them I would be glad to hear any comments about their work.

Hi Heather. We used Granite Transformatin in Rockingham and they were absolutely great. The quality and workmanship was spot on, we could not have asked for more. So happy with our bench tops and would highly recommend them to anyone. Hope this helps you and good luck.

Hi Heather, we used Granite Transformations North of Perth just a couple of months ago and are absolutely thrilled with the result. The service was faultless from quote to install and the guys who did the install, as well as the plumber, were professional and nice and on time. All done in about 6 hours. I'd definitely use them again. The granite is finished so well with barely noticeable seams.

Hi Heather, I will be using Granite Transformations Willetton in the next 2 weeks and will let you know how they go. So far my dealings with them have been fantastic, compared to other companies who wouldn't accept my job as it was too small and who were giving my outrageous quotes just to get the job completed before Christmas.

Terrible experience with the Pentith GT organisation. It would takes full novel to explain the trauma we went through.

WeiWei would you mind if I had a look at your kitchen when the job is done. I am in Pearsall . would like to see their workmanship beforehand if I could. Have already been burned once by a kitchen makeover company so am very keen not to get stung again. Can you call me on my mobile 0415 442 499 if that would be ok.
