Can Quartz Countertops Be Repaired?
Quartz countertops are known for their durability, non-porous surface, and modern look—but like any surface in a busy kitchen, they’re not completely invincible. If you've noticed chips, cracks, or heat damage on your quartz countertop, you're probably wondering: can it be repaired? The short answer is yes—but it depends on the damage.
Small Chips and Scratches
Minor chips along the edges or surface can often be filled with a colour-matched epoxy or resin. At Pacific Granite, we use high-quality materials and precision techniques to ensure that small repairs blend seamlessly with your existing countertop. Most chips around sinks, dishwashers, or high-traffic areas are fixable.
Quartz countertops are very durable and a crack like this is nearly impossible.
Cracks or Structural Damage
Larger cracks, especially ones that run through the countertop, are trickier. While some can be repaired, others may require more involved solutions—like replacing a section of the slab. It’s important to have a professional assess the damage to determine the best approach. If your countertop was installed by us, we’ll check if it’s still under warranty and advise accordingly.
This is a fictional crack for this blog post, but in the event that you have an issue, please do not repair your quartz countertop with white glue :)
Burn Marks and Stains
Although quartz is heat-resistant, extreme heat can cause discolouration or thermal shock. Unfortunately, burn marks are difficult to remove entirely. In some cases, surface polishing or refinishing may reduce the appearance, but a full repair isn’t always possible. Prevention—like using trivets and cutting boards—is key.
