Marble benchtop corners are the most vulnerable point on any stone benchtop — heavy pots, appliances and impacts cause chips and breakage. Professional stone repair rebuilds chipped corners with colour-matched epoxy and polishes to a near-invisible finish. The corner geometry concentrates impact stress — a pot dropped at the corner breaks a much larger piece than the same impact on a flat surface. Marble’s natural cleavage planes make corners particularly susceptible. We rebuild chipped corners with colour-matched stone epoxy applied in layers, allow full curing, then grind flat and polish to match the existing surface. In most cases the repair is very difficult to detect under normal lighting.

In most cases, yes — very difficult to detect under normal lighting. The result depends on the complexity of the marble's colour and veining. Simple white or lightly veined marble matches almost perfectly. Heavily figured marble is harder to match perfectly but still achieves an excellent, very discreet result.
Repair is almost always the right choice — both financially and practically. A full benchtop replacement involves demolition, disposal, new stone, fabrication and re-installation. A professional corner chip repair typically takes half a day and costs a fraction of that. The cosmetic result is excellent in the vast majority of cases.
A single corner chip repair typically takes 2–4 hours including epoxy curing time. Multiple repairs in one visit are more cost-effective. We'll give you an accurate timeframe when we assess the damage.
Yes — we repair chips in both polished and honed marble benchtops. After the epoxy repair, we grind and hone (or polish) the repaired area to precisely match the surrounding surface finish.
