Chips, cracks and soot staining repaired on stone surrounds.
Fireplace Stone Repair
Stone fireplace surrounds face a specific mix of heat exposure, soot staining, and impact damage from fireplace tools or logs. We repair chips, cracks, and staining on marble, granite, and natural stone surrounds and hearths.
Common Problems We See
- Chips from fireplace tools or moved logs
- Cracks from heat cycling over years of use
- Soot and smoke staining on the surround
- Dull or worn hearth surfaces from foot traffic
Materials We Repair
Is It Repairable?
Fireplace surrounds are repaired using the same core techniques as countertops — colour-matched fills for chips and cracks, and honing or cleaning for staining — adapted for a vertical or hearth surface.

Repair vs. Replacement
Chips, cracks, and staining on a fireplace surround are generally repairable. Replacement would only come up if the stone has widespread structural cracking from prolonged heat stress.

Can soot stains be removed from a stone fireplace surround?
Many soot and smoke stains respond well to targeted cleaning and extraction methods, particularly when addressed before they've set in for years.
Is it safe to repair stone near an active fireplace?
