Don't replace, repair better than new!!!

Replacing kitchen counter tops may be necessary when the effects of time and penetrating water deteriorate wood and particle board substrates in other types of counter tops. Granite counter tops can last a lifetime, especially when damage is promptly repaired. Minor damage can often be repaired by the homeowner. Foreign substances that become adhered to the counter top surface can usually be removed by gently scraping with a razor blade. If slight scratches occur in the process, they can be polished out using fine steel wool. Scuffing or marking from cookware or utensils can usually also be polished out using fine steel wool. When it comes to chips or cracks, it is best to have a professional perform an invisible repair, using a resin or polymer product best suited to that type of granite. Some types of granite can develop hairline cracks or fissures. In most cases this is perfectly normal and will not affect the counter top performance.
