Granite repairs possible?

[Dell Schlabach]

I just bought a house, the kitchens are in good condition has granite countertops.

They seamed the granite at the sink, about an inch to the right of the seam, is a significant visible break, 16th of an inch gap running back a couple inches to the backslash.

Anyone have any experience repairing something like that, personally or hiring pros? Or do I needto install new.

If its an undermount sink its going to be tough, as you may need to remove the sink. Then depending on how it looks you may need to replace it with a regular drop sink to prevent another issue.
Ours was NOT an undermount so we just used a grinding wheel to open the crack & then filled it with the epoxy colored to that of the granite.

You need to ensure the granite is well supported under the area of the stress crack to prevent it happening again. On a new install I use 1/4 plywood glued to the granite to help support the exposed weaker areas. But if its a tight fit I find light gauge steel plate epoxied to the underside is even more effective.
Also if there is a 'sinkerator' attached to the sink the vibration could be an issue so the extra support is a wise move.
good luck
