Granite Repair
Granite is a hard, natural igneous stone with a distinctive speckled or crystalline pattern. It's one of the most durable countertop materials, but it can still chip at edges and corners, develop hairline cracks, and lose its shine over years of use.
Common Damage
- Corner and edge chips
- Hairline or structural cracks
- Dull, worn spots from wear or improper cleaners
- Stains from oil, wine, or other liquids on unsealed stone
- Pitting from mineral deposits within the stone
Typical Surfaces
- Kitchen countertops and islands
- Outdoor kitchens
- Bathroom vanities
- Flooring
Repair Possibilities
Chips and cracks in granite are commonly filled with a colour-matched epoxy or resin and polished to restore the surface. Dull or worn granite can often be re-honed and re-polished to bring back its original shine.
Repair Limitations
Granite's crystalline pattern varies significantly between slabs, so an exact colour and pattern match isn't always possible, particularly on busy or multi-coloured stone. Deep stains that have penetrated an unsealed surface may lighten but not fully disappear.
Granite Repair Examples
Care Considerations
- Reseal periodically — sealing frequency depends on the specific granite
- Use pH-neutral cleaners rather than acidic or abrasive products
- Use cutting boards to protect the polished finish

Frequently Asked Questions
Can granite chips be repaired?
Yes, in most cases. Chips are typically filled with a colour-matched epoxy and polished to blend with the surrounding granite. The final result depends on the granite's pattern and the chip's size and location.
Does granite need to be resealed after a repair?
Not always, but it's worth checking. If your granite is due for resealing anyway, we can advise on timing so the repaired area cures properly before sealant is applied.
