Caring For Your Marble Benchtops Post-Repair
Once your benchtop is expertly repaired and restored, keep it looking pristine by following these tips:
- Re-sealing Regularly: Marble is porous and prone to staining. Periodic sealing helps protect it from spills and moisture.
- Gentle Cleaning: Use warm, soapy water or mild cleaners specifically formulated for natural stone. Avoid harsh or acidic products like bleach, lemon, or vinegar.
- Prevent Scratches: Use coasters, mats, and furniture pads on surfaces. Don’t cut directly on marble—use a cutting board.
- Act Fast With Spills: Wipe spills immediately to prevent them from seeping in and causing stains.
- Professional Servicing: For deep scratches, stubborn stains, or chips, contact MSM Stone for timely repairs.
To prevent scratches and stains, use coasters and furniture pads. If your marble stone benchtop does get damaged, MSM Stone can provide professional restoration and installation for marble benchtops.
Common Stone Damage & Specialised Repair Solutions
1. Stone Bleach & Acid Damage Repair
Why It Happens
Caustic substances like bleach, battery acid, or harsh cleaners can cause "acid etching" on natural stone surfaces, particularly marble. The acidic compounds break down the stone's calcium carbonate, leading to dull spots or visible 'burns' on the surface.
Repair & Restoration
- Etch Removal: Our trained technicians use specialised abrasives to gently buff out etched layers.
- Resin Colour Matching: If discolouration or deeper burns occur, we may use resin fillers matched perfectly to your stone's colour and pattern.
- Re-Sealing: We seal the repaired area with a high-quality protective coating, helping to prevent future etching.
Prevention Tip
Avoid harsh or acidic cleaning agents. Opt for pH-neutral stone-safe cleaners and rinse surfaces thoroughly to minimise chemical exposure.
Need Professional Help?
If you suspect bleach or acid damage on your marble, contact MSM Stone right away. Prompt assessment and repair can save your benchtop from further deterioration.
2. Stone Stain Removal
Why It Happens
Natural and even some engineered stones have a degree of porosity. This means liquids like coffee, wine, oil, or juices can seep in—especially if the surface is not adequately sealed—causing unsightly stains or discolouration over time.
Repair & Restoration
- Initial Cleaning: We start with gentle, pH-neutral stone cleaners to remove surface grime.
- Poultice Application: For stubborn stains, a poultice can lift deep-set spills without damaging the stone.
- Professional Methods: In more severe cases, grinding or honing may be needed to restore the original finish.
Prevention Tip
Wipe up spills immediately to avoid penetration. Regular sealing forms a protective barrier, reducing the chance of stains setting in.
FAQ - Stone Stains
Q: How do I remove tough stains from my marble benchtop if standard cleaning methods fail?
A: If pH-neutral cleaners and mild poultices aren't enough, MSM Stone can apply specialised treatments or deeper stain extraction methods. We have the tools and expertise to restore your benchtop without compromising its finish.
3. Stone Etch Mark Repair
What Are Etch Marks?
When acidic substances—like citrus juice, vinegar, wine, or some bathroom cleaners—come into contact with marble or limestone, they can create dull patches or "etches." These spots often appear lighter or have a slight matte texture compared to the surrounding polished stone.
Repair & Restoration
- Surface Polishing: Depending on severity, fine abrasives and polishing compounds can remove or diminish the etched area, restoring a uniform shine.
- Honing & Sealing: In deeper cases, honing the surface may be required before finishing with a professional-grade sealant.
Why Timely Repair Matters
Leaving etch marks untreated can allow them to widen or deepen, making future restoration more challenging (and costly). Contact us promptly if you notice dull or discoloured patches.
4. Stone Burn Mark Repair
Why It Happens
Placing hot pots, pans, or any high-temperature items directly on a stone surface can scorch the sealant—or in severe cases, damage the stone itself. Engineered stones can also experience resin burns, leading to discolouration or dark patches.
Repair & Restoration
- Surface Grinding: Light burn marks may be resolved by carefully grinding and repolishing the affected area.
- Resin Burn Repairs: For engineered stone, we use resin colour matching to fill and mask deeper scorch marks.
- Protective Re-Sealing: Re-sealing is essential after burn mark removal to restore a uniform surface.
Prevention Tip
Use trivets, heat pads, or protective mats to prevent direct heat contact with your benchtop. A small protective measure can save you from costly repairs down the line.
Have a Persistent Burn Mark?
MSM Stone's specialists can assess the extent of the burn and recommend the best approach, be it simple polishing or more advanced restoration techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions
You can clean and maintain marble benchtops with warm water and ordinary soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly to prevent water damage. Don’t use lemon, vinegar or other acidic cleaning solutions, which can be abrasive.
You only need to seal your marble benchtops once every 15 years, if you’re using a high-quality sealer. However, sealing your marble benchtop makes the stone more stain-resistant, though not stain-proof.
For tough stains such as oil-based or food stains, mix up a paste of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. You can add a few drops of ammonia for particularly stubborn stains.
Light scratches on marble benchtops can often be repaired, or buffed out with dry steel wool. For deeper scratches, we recommend contacting MSM Stone for professional marble benchtop restoration assistance.
To protect your marble benchtops from damage, use furniture pads and coasters on surfaces. Consider choosing a matte or honed finish for increased durability of your benchtop.
To test if your marble benchtop is properly sealed, put a few drops of water on the surface. If the water beads up, the seal is intact. If the water is absorbed and leaves a dark stain, your marble benchtop has not been properly sealed.
The main disadvantage of marble benchtops is their porosity, which makes them susceptible to staining and scratching. This is why we recommend sealing your benchtops to protect them from damage.
Yes, professionals can often repair damaged marble benchtops, whether to remove stubborn stains, or to fix a broken seal.
Classic grey and white are ever-popular colour choices, whilst veined patterns are becoming more trendy for marble benchtops. For more personalised, distinctive kitchen designs, red, green and blue marbles create a bolder, trendy look.
Alternatives to marble for your benchtop include engineered stone, porcelain, and other natural stones like granite or quartzite. These materials offer similar aesthetics, as well as increased durability or lower maintenance.
