Scratch on granite

7 years ago

I've got a very tiny scratch on my granite breakfast bar which is only noticeable when the sun or lights are on it, any ideas on how to remove it, it's a viscount white granite, thanks in advance

Hello Linda, the best way is to contact your worktop supplier and ask if they do restoration or if it's something really minor, they will give you a tip via phone.

granite or corian worktops?
Q

After reading an article about the pros and cons of all types or worktop, we went for black sparkly corian (quartz). Reason was that I wanted the look, but also the practicality. We drink wine, cook quite a bit of spicy food and use alot of grapefruit (which can damage other surfaces). It doesn't scratch, looks fabulous and I have no idea whether it would withstand a hot dish as it would not occur to me to put something straight down on a worktop. We have had it a year, no problems at all. All it needs is a polish with a microfibre glass cloth every day to keep it smear free.

Thanks for your comments, I've had a email from the boss man, have a read see what you think. The Star Galaxy Is Natural Granite , it has pits in the Material no matter where in the world or who it's purchased from, they don't expand or get bigger, we just have to fill it with resin, 99% of the stone should be spot on just a few small pits but they will get filled. For a 100% smooth Worktop we have to use material that's not 100% natural stone ie quartz which is not as durable compared to granite, Corian which scratches so granite & quartz are better than Corian or finally laminate or wood which again scratch & are not a long term suitable option. The granite is extracted from the ground & would outlast any other material in a home including the brickwork. The small pits can be filled no problem & if the join needs going over again that's also normal as the stone will contract & detract over the first few months with temperature until it settles. Overall granite is the best stone to use but has small details like pits due to it's natural form in lighter colours you may get light hairline cracks or veins & not a uniformed look, pits are found in every star galaxy job done. The pits are not abnormal to the stone & we will address them, that shouldn't detract from the remainder of the job which I believe has been hand crafted to a very high standard.

Different kitchen countertop materials, same or different heights?
Q
Comments (8)
It is probably better to keep to one height in the sink corner, for all the above reasons. This time round I'm going free-standing. I discovered one height all round affects my shoulders - the worktops are too high for my height and different jobs (eg mixing, bread making, carving, chopping) and it seems there's a standard height just to fit the appliances underneath. My current, old, about-to-be-redone kitchen served its purpose but practically didn't work so well. So this time I'm including working heights that suit me, not the designer \ trader.
