Kitchen fitters

[Spud23]

Hi Guys

First time on here I’ve got a question for all you kitchen fitters.

We’ve completely renovated our house and we’re just having our kitchen fitted. The quartz splash back has been fitted today and I’m not happy with the fact that there has been a kitchen colour trim fitted on the edges of the splash back. I’m a sparky so don’t know a great deal about kitchens but it doesn’t look right. Tell me if I’m wrong but I thought it would be fairly snug with a very thin bead of silicon around it. I can see at the top of the trim that there is roughly 8-10mm gap between where the quartz ends and the end panels start. My wife messaged the fitter and he basically said he thinks the trim looks better than silicon, but there’s no way I’m having 10mm of silicon around it. Things have kept being changed around because of the kitchen designer messing up and I think they’ve ordered the quartz to small and tried to cover it up.. I will attach a picture.

any thoughts from you guys?? Appreciated

That’s too small. Tell them it needs to fit perfect. It’s not hard for them to get that right.

It's possible / probable that they have ordered the quartz splash-back too small. Or, there may be a reason. Have you asked the designer / supplier, not the fitter? There may be a reason such as this was a cut they had available and to have another specially made / cut may cost twice the amount (to you).
Yes, the trim may not have been your first choice but as you say, to have a massive bead of silicone would look worse.
You may be peeved about it today but tbh, after a few months you'll have forgotten about it.

Not a kitchen fitter but personally I could live with that trim but would be more concerned that there does not appear to be any sealing done around the worktop where it meets the splash back and the side walls.
