r/CounterTops

Hot bowl on the countertop of our bathroom seemed to have left behind a bowl mark. I’m not sure what the material is, maybe quartz. Any way to get the ring to go away?

Was quoted a lot less in this place than any other places in florida, looks like it has no cracks and exactly the color that i want. What is your opinion?
Any other places like stone mall of marble of the world was 3-5k more for slabs alone

Originally I was looking for a simple white stone for our counters, but I absolutely fell in love with this stone at the slab yard. Unfortunately the lady who worked there didn't know much. I thought it was quartzite, but my fabricator/ installer says it's marble. What's this category of marble called? I'm having trouble finding it online.

The blue cabinet sample is what we'll be using for the lower cabinets. Upper cabinets will be dove white (cool undertone).

Any insight or tips would be appreciated. Thank you!

I'm finally renovating my kitchen and I'm looking for a highly durable countertop stone. I coom and bake a LOT and I use a ton of spices and oils, cocoa powder, turmeric etc so I need the countertops to be stain resistant, heat resistant and durable. Any recomendations whether I should go for quartzite or porcelain?

I held off on renovating for a long time because my existing kitchen countertop is very durable and has withstood a ton of heavy usage over the years. I'm not sure whether it's granite or marble because it looks like granite but lemon juice leaves a white residue on it. I'm attaching a picture in case someone can identify whether it's a marble because I've gotten very good use out of it and wouldn't mind the same material if I can get a colour upgrade.

Still working on trim, but everything completed by me, my dad, and my husband! Super happy with how it’s turning out so far! Edit: yes the first pictures are the after, sorry for the confusion!

I have this chip in my countertop,

how can i fix it to be as seamless as possible?

Have come to the solution of using tinted clear epoxy (slide 2+3)

We just had these quartz countertops installed 2 weeks ago. We have been very gentle with them and only using soap and water to clean. We had someone come in this week to tile a backsplash and after we noticed these faint marks along with this irregular shape. You only see it when looking at them from the side when the light hits. Suggestions? We are so sad.

Just had this Cambria Montgomery (light blue, white, beige, dark gray, some sparkle) installed in a hall bath. I feel like I need to be talked off a ledge about that huge splotch of tan to the right of the sink. I think it is the way it comes but it looks like an epoxy fill in a very conspicuous spot. Thoughts?

Hi all,

I have honed carrara marble countertops that I want to reseal. They have lots of character (etching, courtesy of wine glasses and friends dropping acidic stuff on them) that I don't think I will take care of now because I don't feel qualified... But I want to remove a couple stains and reseal.

The stains are from the rubber feet of my espresso machine (plus maybe flying coffee particles?) before I realized that they were leeching into the countertop. I since put felt on the feet. What would you recommend I use to take the stains out? The stains are old (years). See stain picture below.

Then I would like to reseal the marble. I haven't done that in a long time, and even then I was just using a spray. What is a recommended product to do a job that will last longer than the Amazon sprays?

TIA!

So I had a tomato sauce on my granite counter that wasn’t cleaned properly.

It’s now left a stain that won’t come off.

I have tried different things but I won’t completely come off the granite.

I had a small appliance on it so I had no idea it was there for a while.

Tried baking soda

Tried stain remover for granite counter top ( let sit 24 hours )

Does anybody have any other advice on how to proceed now?

Thank you

Customer wants to match what is currently installed and swears this is a Corian color. Corian rep says no and their sample boxes have nothing like this. Any ideas from my fellow fabricators?

Installed yesterday. We are delighted!
