Reconstituted stone/effect of, to tart up nasty fireplace surround. Where from?!

[ampere]

Made a mistake.

Our fire surround (real fireplace, in 10 year old estate house) is dark green smooth sort of marble effect. It has dictated the other colours we have used in the living room BUT the whole thing is too dark and plain. Unfortunately we got a slot-in wood burning stove inserted and fixed into the opening so we are kind of stuck with the surround, now!

What I would like to do is to cover over much of the surround with pale stone effect- well, slabs, really!

Anyone know whom I could get to fabricate this for us?

You could always tile it. It would be cheaper than having something special made to cover it up. And you could get large tiles to get that 'slab effect'.

In my town there is a stonemason who makes both gravestones and fireplaces, so you could try and find someone like that. Might be rather expensive though.

Tiling hadn't occurred to me!

I imagine bespoke stone work will cost- I was hoping I might find someone who can make a mould for reconstituted stone or stone effect materials.

Thanks all so far!
