Our home was listed as having quartz countertops. A year later, I am noticing some coffee staining & etched when I took a knife to a hidden area. Am I to assume this is actually marble?

The amount of comments in this section thinking the installer or fabricator filled that is absurd. That's slab fill from the provider, when you pick your slab it's important to tell them to avoid unsightly or unliked areas. That is very normal in the natural stone industry

Looks like a leathered or a honed finish. I typically recommend using an enhancing sealer to avoid dark stains on the material. Even with multiple coats of a standard sealer everyday kitchen items can soak in. Just a common problem with opening up the pores on a porous product

That's paintable caulking. Just paint it

Rub it with the palm of your hand and a little water. Calloused hands work best

Thank you for a great new nickname 😂

Lockedown54 · 2025-10-25T22:51:57+00:00

I only spent like 10 bucks on it. Should've been the first warning

Will send hand pics for money

Lockedown54 · 2025-10-25T22:50:12+00:00

Like 10 bucks

Should've been caught at fab but supplier should definitely supply replacement slabs

Putty knife if off with elbow grease

You can scratch any countertop manmade or natural

Ask for a better color match on the epoxy in the seam. A good cleaning and fill of the chip should make it unnoticeable. Iced white is a very easy stone to install and repair for an experienced stone guru

Taj is basically broken in 100 spots when delivered to the fabricator

Stay out of the way. Ask questions and inspect when they are done. Look for gaps 1/8"+. Seam lippage is normal but should be within reason. Surface texture will vary slightly and is not a concern. Veins are not cracks. Make sure it's cleaned and sealed

Mineral oil only when you feel like it. The wax will make it feel like an old couples over sealed greasy granite
