Granite Countertop Repair & Stone Restoration in Ottawa

Granite is one of the strongest, most timeless surfaces you can install in a home—but even the toughest natural stone isn’t immune to real life. One dropped pot, one heavy impact near the sink, one shifting seam, or one dull area that grows over time can make your entire countertop suddenly feel older, worn or damaged. If you’re searching for granite repair Ottawa specialists who can fix the problem properly the first time, you’re in the right place.

Granite Repair is a dedicated granite countertop repair and stone restoration contractor serving Ottawa and surrounding areas, including Nepean, Kanata, Orléans, Barrhaven, Stittsville and Gloucester. We focus exclusively on granite damage—chips, cracks, seam separation, dull finishes, staining, uneven shine, edge damage and full-surface restoration.

Our approach blends skilled craftsmanship with a clean, modern service style. Think 70% professional & trustworthy, 30% Lululemon—friendly, calm, organized and always focused on creating a smooth, stress-free experience for homeowners. Whether you live in a downtown Ottawa condo or a busy family home in Barrhaven, our goal is the same: restore your granite so it looks great, feels smooth and lasts for years.

Granite repairs aren’t just about filling a chip or patching a crack—they’re about color-matching, polishing, shaping and blending the repair so the finished surface looks as natural as possible. That’s why Ottawa homeowners choose specialists instead of general trades.

If you want expert granite repair, fast response times and clear guidance, you’re in the right place.

When Granite Gets Damaged: Why Ottawa Homeowners Call Granite Repair First

Granite countertops are a centerpiece of modern Ottawa kitchens—strong, elegant, and built to withstand daily life. But granite is still natural stone. It reacts to impacts, heat, weight and movement in ways homeowners don’t expect. When something goes wrong, the frustration is instant: a once-perfect surface now draws your eye every time you walk into the room.

Across Nepean, homeowners often notice chips forming near busy sinks where pots and pans are washed multiple times a day. In Kanata, large islands can develop hairline cracks from natural cabinetry movement or heavy appliances dragged across the surface. In Orléans, granite seams in long kitchen runs sometimes start to separate slightly because of seasonal expansion and contraction. In Barrhaven and Stittsville, active households often see dulling or micro-scratches on darker granite. And in Gloucester, older homes with original stone surfaces often need full restoration due to years of wear.

The moment the damage happens, the same concerns pop up:

• “Is this repairable?”
• “Will the repair be noticeable?”
• “Do I need to replace the entire slab?”
• “Who actually fixes granite properly?”

Most people don’t want a full renovation—they just want the granite repaired quickly, cleanly and professionally. But granite repair is a specialized skill, not something general handymen or fabricators typically excel at. You need a technician who can assess the damage, color-match the natural pattern, stabilize cracks, correct seams, and polish the surface to a uniform finish.

That’s where Granite Repair comes in. We bring specialized equipment, advanced color-matching resins, seam tools, polishing pads, and a deep understanding of how granite behaves. The goal isn’t just fixing damage—it’s restoring the stone so the problem area blends beautifully into the rest of your countertop.

Common Granite Problems We Fix Daily

Granite is extremely strong—but also rigid. This means it handles daily wear well but responds to impact or stress by chipping or cracking rather than bending. Because we work on granite repair Ottawa-wide, we see very consistent patterns in the types of issues homeowners face.

Granite Chips (the most common issue)

Chips commonly form:

• Along sink edges
• On overhangs (like breakfast bars)
• Around dishwashers where heavy pots are handled
• On island corners
• Near granite seams

Even a small chip can feel sharp and catch on clothing, sponges or towels. It also collects food debris and moisture, making it unsanitary and difficult to clean. Many Ottawa homeowners assume a chip requires slab replacement—but professional chip repair blends seamlessly when done correctly.

Granite Cracks

Cracks generally form from:

• Heavy impacts (dropped pans)
• Pressure from sitting/standing on the counter
• Undersupported overhangs
• Heat shock (rare, but possible)
• Cabinet or house movement

We distinguish between structural cracks (requiring reinforcement) and surface cracks (mostly cosmetic). Both types are repairable.

Granite Seam Separation

Seams can lift, discolor, spread, become uneven and collect grime. Ottawa homeowners frequently see seam separation during seasonal expansion, especially in long countertop runs in Orléans, Kanata and Nepean.

Dull Granite or Uneven Shine

This is especially noticeable on:

• Dark granite
• High-traffic areas
• Older countertops
• Improperly sealed surfaces

Professional polishing can restore uniform shine and remove micro-scratches.

Stains, Water Marks & Edge Damage

Granite is fairly stain-resistant, but not stain-proof. Oils, dyes, wine, or mineral deposits can leave marks that require professional poultice treatment and polishing. Chipped, worn or rounded edges can be re-shaped and polished.

Full-Surface Granite Restoration

Older homes in Gloucester and Stittsville often need complete resurfacing, shine restoration and resealing. No matter the issue, granite repair is almost always more cost-effective than replacement.

Our sole focus is granite repair and restoration, which means you get the highest level of precision, tools and techniques designed specifically for natural stone.

• Condo units
• Luxury homes
• Older homes needing full refinishing

Our granite services cover everything from minor chip repair to full-surface restoration.

Granite Chip Repair Ottawa

Granite chips happen instantly, and they’re impossible to ignore. Even a tiny chip disrupts the smooth feel of your countertop and becomes an eyesore in an otherwise premium surface.

Our granite chip repair service includes:

• Cleaning and preparing the damaged area
• Color-matching to your specific granite pattern
• High-quality resin filling
• Shaping and leveling
• Polishing to match surrounding shine
• Final inspection

Chip repair is one of the fastest and most effective services we offer—and when performed correctly, the repaired spot blends naturally with the countertop.

Granite in Ottawa homes varies widely—from dark Ubatuba granite in Barrhaven to lighter Giallo Ornamental and patterned granites found in Kanata, Orléans and Nepean. Color-matching is essential, and our technicians bring a full tinting kit to ensure precision.

Most chips take between 30–60 minutes to repair.

Granite Crack Repair & Structural Stabilization

Granite cracks worry homeowners more than any other type of stone damage — and understandably so. A crack running across your island or stretching from the sink corner can feel like a structural failure. But in reality, most granite cracks are repairable, and the repaired area can often become stronger than the original stone.

Cracks form for several reasons:

• Heavy Impact: A dropped cast-iron pan or heavy object landing on the counter sends shockwaves through the stone, creating a crack radiating outward from the point of impact.
• Cabinet or House Movement: Extremely common in Kanata, Barrhaven and Orléans. Even a few millimeters of cabinet movement can stress granite, especially around narrow parts like sink rails.
• Undersupported Overhangs: Breakfast bars, raised seating areas or large islands without proper support can flex over time. Granite does not flex — it cracks.
• Heat Shock: Rare, but possible when extreme heat is followed by rapid cooling.

What Granite Crack Repair Includes

• Damage assessment (structural vs surface-level)
• Stabilization and reinforcement (if needed)
• Detailed cleaning & prep
• Color-matched resin application
• Shaping & leveling
• Polishing and finish blending

Crack repair ranges depend on length, depth and location.

Granite Seam Repair & Seam Refinishing

Granite seams are normal—most countertops require at least one depending on slab size, layout and design. But seams should sit tight, level and discreet. When they begin to separate, lift, darken, widen, or collect grime, homeowners immediately notice. Seam problems are one of the top reasons people search for granite seam repair Ottawa.

Across the Ottawa region, we see seam issues most often in Kanata (long kitchen runs in newer homes that expand/contract seasonally), Nepean (older installations where adhesives have weakened), Orléans (large islands made from two slab pieces), Barrhaven & Stittsville (active family homes where seams take frequent impact) and Gloucester (aging kitchens with original builder-grade seam work).

Our Seam Repair Process

• Assessment & cleanup — remove old adhesives, dirt, oils and debris
• Realignment — bring the seam pieces back to a tight, even fit (if conditions allow)
• Re-bonding — apply high-strength stone adhesives designed for granite
• Color-matched seam filling — matched to your specific granite tones
• Shaping & leveling — ensure the seam edge is flush and smooth
• Polishing — blend the seam finish to match your surrounding stone

Sometimes seams don’t need a full repair—they need visibility reduction through polishing and color blending.

Granite Polishing & Full-Surface Restoration

Granite is incredibly durable, but over years of daily use it can lose the deep, reflective shine that once made your kitchen or bathroom feel luxurious. Darker granites show dullness fastest, especially in high-traffic homes in Barrhaven, Kanata, and Orléans, while older granite installations in Gloucester and Nepean often develop uneven shine, fine scratching, or hazy patches that no cleaner can fix.

Granite polishing and full-surface restoration are designed to reverse years of wear, giving your countertops the rich, smooth, reflective finish they had on day one.

Our Professional Granite Polishing Process

• Surface preparation — remove residues, buildup, hard water deposits and embedded oils
• Progressive polishing — multiple diamond-grit pads restore natural luster
• Scratch removal — reduce or eliminate fine scratches and surface abrasions
• Shine level matching — ensure consistency across the stone
• Sealing (if recommended) — protect against future staining and wear

Full-surface restoration is ideal when large sections look dull, scratched or uneven — common in older Ottawa homes or busy households.

How Our Granite Repair Process Works

Every homeowner wants the same thing when granite gets chipped, cracked, or dull: a repair process that’s clear, simple and stress-free. Whether you’re in a busy Nepean household, a Kanata new build, an Orléans townhome, or a downtown Ottawa condo, our process is designed to give you answers quickly and restore your granite with precision.

We’ve refined our workflow into four steps that remove guesswork and make the entire experience smooth from start to finish. You’ll always know what’s happening, what to expect, and what your options are — no surprises, no pressure.

Our team handles all granite-related issues, including chip repair, crack stabilization, seam correction, polishing, and full surface restoration. Each job begins the same way: with photos of the damage or a quick call. From there, we explain your options, confirm timing, and arrive prepared with everything needed to complete the repair cleanly and professionally.

Step 1: Send Photos or Call for Initial Assessment

The first step is fast and easy: simply send us photos of the damage or call to describe what happened. Granite issues can look similar to homeowners, but the details matter — especially when dealing with cracks, seam separation or multi-tone granite patterns.

Clear photos help us identify:

• The type of damage (chip, crack, seam issue, dull patch, stain, etc.)
• The severity of the issue
• The material type, pattern and grain
• Whether the repair will require color-matching, reinforcement, or polishing
• Whether additional areas around the damage may need blending

Most assessments take only a few minutes, and you’ll quickly receive a straightforward explanation of what happened, what the repair will involve, whether the damage is structural or cosmetic, and any suggestions to prevent the issue from getting worse.

Want answers fast? Text photos to 613-266-9812 for a same-day assessment.

Step 2: Clear Explanation & Transparent Quote

Once we review your photos, we provide a clear breakdown of the repair:

• What needs to be done
• How the repair works
• Whether reinforcement is required
• Whether polishing or refinishing will be included
• How long the appointment should take
• What the expected visual result will be

We always give transparent pricing based on your specific repair needs. Granite varies in pattern, hardness, color and location — so we explain exactly what affects the cost.

All pricing shown is an estimate only. Final quotes depend on your specific job and surface condition.

Step 3: On-Site Repair — Chip Fill, Crack Stabilization, Seam Correction

On the day of your appointment, our technician arrives fully prepared with stone-specific tools, diamond pads, resin kits, seam equipment and polishing compounds designed for granite. Granite repair isn’t “patching” — it’s a mix of craftsmanship, precision and material science.

Our on-site process typically includes:

• Surface prep and cleaning
• Structural reinforcement (if needed)
• Chip or crack filling with color-matched resins
• Seam correction if your joint is lifting or separating
• Shaping & polishing through multiple grit stages
• Final inspection under different lighting angles

Step 4: Polishing, Blending & Aftercare

This final phase ensures your repaired granite looks flawless and stays that way. We polish and blend the repaired area so it matches surrounding shine, refine edges where needed, and lightly refinish nearby dull patches if necessary for a uniform appearance.

Some granite benefits from a penetrating sealant after repair, especially lighter colors or high-moisture bathroom areas. Before we leave, we walk you through what to avoid during the curing period, when to resume normal use, which cleaners are safe and how to prevent future damage.

Many Ottawa homeowners say this is their favourite part — they feel confident using their granite again without worrying about ruining the repair.

Granite Repair Pricing in Ottawa — What Affects the Cost

Granite repair pricing can vary widely because every piece of granite is different, every home has different conditions, and every type of damage requires its own approach. Homeowners in Ottawa, Nepean, Kanata, Orléans, Barrhaven, Stittsville and Gloucester frequently ask the same question: “How much does granite repair cost?”

The honest answer: it depends on the type of damage, severity, location, and how much blending or polishing is required to make the repair look natural.

Granite is a natural material with variations in grain, depth, color, flecks and pattern movement. A simple chip in a dark, uniform granite may be quick to repair, while a crack running through multi-tone, patterned stone may require advanced color-matching and extended polishing.

Factors That Influence Granite Repair Pricing

• Type of Damage: Small chip, long crack, structural fracture, seam separation, dullness or full-surface restoration all require different time and materials.
• Location of the Damage: Repairs near sinks, stoves, overhangs, seams or edges may require extra stabilization or careful blending.
• Pattern Complexity: Granite with high movement or multiple fleck colors requires more detailed tint-matching.
• Required Finish Level: Repairs must match shine, texture, grain continuity and light reflection.
• Additional Refinishing: If surrounding stone is dull or scratched, we may suggest a small refinishing area for consistent visual results.
• Urgency: Emergency granite repair in Ottawa (e.g., spreading cracks, seam lifting) may require priority scheduling.

All pricing shown is an estimate only. Final quotes depend on your specific job and surface condition.

Repair vs Replacement for Granite Countertops

Many homeowners assume that certain types of damage automatically mean replacement. In reality, most granite damage can be repaired, saving thousands in demolition, fabrication and installation costs.

When repair is the better option: chips, cracks, seam separation, dull or scratched areas, minor staining, edge damage, uneven shine, heat marks and sink rail cracks.

Granite is expensive to replace, especially in large islands, complex shapes, kitchens with integrated backsplashes or where cabinets would need modification. Granite repair avoids demolition, keeps your existing cabinets intact, and prevents the mess and downtime of full replacement.

When replacement might be necessary: severe structural failure on unsupported spans, extremely deep cracks through fragile corners, incorrectly installed countertops with major leveling issues, or when you want a completely new color/style.

Even in these cases, repair may be possible as a short-term or cost-saving option.

All pricing shown is an estimate only. Final quotes depend on your specific job and surface condition.
