Porcelain Benchtops Care & Maintenance
Porcelain is a naturally scratch and stain-resistant material. In fact, it’s often regarded as one of the best stone materials for benchtops and kitchen counters, not to mention its aesthetic value in other areas of the house, such as porcelain stone vanities for bathrooms and custom-crafted stone washbasins.
However, there are some things you can do after your porcelain countertop installation is complete to ensure its longevity for decades and even generations to come. Use a soft cloth or microfiber towels to wipe down after general use; warm water and dish soap are adequate for day-to-day maintenance. For tougher stains, use a pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for porcelain to get out those accidental spills and mishaps.
We also provide expert restoration and repair services for porcelain stone features that have suffered damage or negligence over the years and are asking for a little TLC. Don’t hesitate to find out how we can fix up your existing porcelain benchtops.

Frequently Asked Questions
Porcelain benchtops are made from powdered clay and coloured pigments. These materials are bonded through an advanced design process called sintering, which uses extreme heat and pressure to combine the materials into one compact slab. This results in high-density, low-porosity porcelain.
The advantages of using porcelain benchtops include their high durability, heat resistance, and low maintenance. They are non-porous, which makes them hygienic and easy to clean, and they come in a variety of colours and finishes, allowing for versatile design options that suit any aesthetic.
Yes, porcelain benchtops are highly suitable for outdoor use. This is because they’re UV resistant, so they can withstand sunlight exposure without fading or discolouration. They are ideal for outdoor kitchens and BBQ areas due to their inherent durability and resistance to weather conditions.
No, porcelain benchtops do not need to be sealed because they have a non-porous surface. This characteristic makes them even more low-maintenance than some other natural and engineered stone materials.
Common mistakes to avoid during porcelain benchtop installation include not maximising the slab size for budget efficiency, inconsistent slab thickness, and inadequate support for overhangs leading to structural weakness. Additionally, care should be taken to avoid chipping and cracking during installation, which is why we recommend working with experienced, confident professionals such as the team at MSM Stone.
Porcelain benchtops can be repaired by a professional using epoxy resin if damaged, however, porcelain can be a tricky material to work with due to its natural hardness. Care should be taken to avoid any sudden or strong impact that could cause damage.
Porcelain benchtops are easy to maintain, and general maintenance often requires nothing more than a quick wipe-down with a microfiber cloth and a suitable cleaning solution. Avoid letting acidic spills sit for too long, as they can damage the finish, and wipe up any stains straight away so they don’t seep into the material.
The cost of installing porcelain benchtops can vary significantly based on the size, thickness, and complexity of the installation. Generally, porcelain benchtops are more expensive than materials such as laminate or wood, but their increased durability and low maintenance turn them into a worthwhile, long-lasting investment.
