Best Repairing Options for Chips, Scratches, Stains, and Unnecessary Joints & Cutouts on Natural Stone Surfaces


The Marble Man team follows cutting edge technology in the repairing of granite benchtops. We use the latest UV glues / epoxies and multiple types of resins to produce excellent chip repair results. These are especially applicable for repairing chips to Caesar Stone, Essa Stone and any other natural stone benchtops.


There is a huge difference between the results achieved by a Marble Man chip repair and common epoxy chip repairs. Check out our comparison chip repair to see for yourself. No matter what type of repair, large or small we have a product that will work for you.  All our repairs are coloured to match the particular granite, marble, caesar stone or other and in some cases the use of multiple colours and or the addition of crystals added to complete the best repair possible.

The main advantages here are that the repair stops dirt entering the chip and there will not be any trace of the repair work as the epoxy is filled to a similar colour to the stone.

Applying a Poultice to a Stain on a Granite Top

Applying a poultice to a stain is a method of attempting to remove deep stains from granite surfaces. This method involves applying a poultice paste to the stain and covering it with plastic wrap to seal the moisture in the paste. The paste allows the mixture of detergents in the mix to absorb into the bench, and when it dries back into the mix, it attempts to draw the substance of the stain with it. It should be noted that this method is only sometimes successful, depending upon the type and age of the stain, as well as the type of stone surface. Unfortunately because of the unknown nature of these types of stains no guarantees can be made as to the poultice’s success. It is normally possible after 2 applications to know whether the method will be a success.

Scratched Benchtops

Depending on the type of stone you have will depend on the method of repair. With granite and reconstituded benchtops, the repair can be quite difficult and a 100% result may not be possible at all the cases. With other stones like marbles and travertines, the scratch can be repaired by resurfacing or repolishing.
