Granite Repairs
Chips
Small chips on edges or surfaces can be filled with colour-matched epoxy. Clean, fill slightly proud, let it cure, scrape flush with a razor blade held flat, then polish.
Cracks
Hairline cracks can be stabilised with a penetrating resin that wicks into the crack. Larger structural cracks need professional assessment — they may indicate poor support under the slab.
Scratches
Light scratches can be buffed with granite polishing compound. Deeper scratches need professional diamond polishing.
Stains
Use poultices: baking soda and water for oil; baking soda and hydrogen peroxide for organic stains. Reseal afterwards.
Dull Areas
Professional polishing restores the factory shine.
Failed Seams
Old seams can be cleaned out and refilled with colour-matched epoxy.
Marble Repairs
Etching
Light etches can be polished out with marble polishing powder. Widespread etching needs professional honing and polishing.
Scratches
Light scratches can be buffed; deeper scratches require honing.
Chips
Fill with colour-matched epoxy or polyester resin and polish.
Stains
Poultices as for granite, plus marble-safe rust removers for rust.
Cracks
Marble is softer and more prone to cracking around cut-outs; professional repair is recommended.
