Diagnosis

Start with what is wrong.

Six things go wrong with stone. Each one has its own page with a real job, a plain verdict on whether it comes out in place, and the price shape.

Dull spots, rings from glasses, a matte patch where lemon or vinegar sat.

A dark patch that has gone into the stone. Oil, rust, wine, something that sat too long.

Fine lines that catch the light, usually all running the same way.

The whole surface has gone flat. No reflection, no depth, and cleaning does nothing.

Hazy, blotchy, or water soaks straight in instead of beading.

A piece missing from an edge, or a line running through the stone.

Send a photo. Get a price.

Two or three photos, your suburb, and what is bothering you. Most benchtop, vanity and table quotes come back the same day.
