DIY Marble Countertop Chip Repair

This is my attempt at repairing the carerra marble countertop in my kitchen. I did hire someone to hone the countertops but could not find any marble specialists who could repair the chip so I had to DIY it. I purchased a marble repair kit and used all of the included products and practiced on scrap marble. Here is what I have found to be the best method.

Excellent work Kimchi!! I have a repair I need to make at my house and you are really thinking out of the box here. I haven't seen anyone else using this technique. Very helpful!!

I did not realize that there are kits! I thought I was going to have to call a professional and pay big bucks! Thanks!

Thank you for this. So can I use any epoxy or do I need that specific kit

That looks terrible I would not accept that

His technique is solid. Harvesting the pigment from the same stone is a fantastic move. He misses the mark on the darker area but could have sourced that pigment from a darker part of the stone. He could also work the top layer with some pigments from a kit to better the match. I think you're dismissing the value of his technique...and its his first try.

Getting the right colour is the hardest bit. I did similar thing but with an old wooden clock. It really takes a lot of time to get it right and patience. The other thing is the place, if this is in a bathroom or kitchen (when you clean the surface often) you can't just cover it with the right colour (what I did with the wood) as it will go off.
