I just noticed a small chip in my granite countertop. They were installed in March & haven’t had any wear and tear. I thought this stuff was basically indestructible! Any thoughts on how this could happen and where do I look to repair ? Very small nick in middle of granite. 


 

 

@GinzTonic  Granite does chip and scratch.  The edges of the granite around my sink are chipped, have no clue how as they are never touched, but even the granite company told me, after installation, that it does chip.  It can be repaired, but the nicks will probably return.

@GinzTonic  Granite can chip, crack and stain ( it is porous) . I know it is gorgeous and most people want it. But in reality it is a poor choice for countertops.. Somehow it became trendy and took off like wildfire. 


 

It isn't perfect, but it isn't "a poor choice" for countertops.
