Surface scratches honed out and polished to blend in.
Scratch Repair
Scratches from knives, keys, cookware, or abrasive cleaning pads are one of the more common — and more fixable — forms of stone surface damage. We hone out scratches and re-polish the surrounding area so the repair blends into the finish.
Common Problems We See
- Knife marks from cutting directly on the countertop
- Scratches from moving appliances or cookware
- Marks from abrasive scouring pads or steel wool
- Fine scratch patterns ("spider webbing") in a high-use area
Materials We Repair
Is It Repairable?
Most surface scratches sit only in the top layer of the stone and respond well to honing and polishing. Deeper gouges may need a small fill in addition to polishing.

What Affects the Repair
- Scratch depth — surface-level marks respond best
- How large an area needs to be honed to blend the repair evenly
- Stone type and existing sheen level
- Whether the surface has a honed, polished, or leathered finish to match
Repair vs. Replacement
Scratches are a repair issue in essentially every case — replacement is never necessary for surface scratching alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can scratches on quartz be repaired?
Fine surface scratches on quartz can often be buffed out. Quartz is harder than marble, so deep scratches are less common, but when they occur, we assess whether honing or a small fill is the better approach.
Will the polished area look different from the rest of the countertop?
We polish a blended area around the scratch, rather than just the mark itself, so the sheen transitions smoothly rather than leaving a distinct polished patch.
