Pebble epoxy over cultured marble.

Cultured marble countertops do contain marble dust but they re not natural stone. Not hugely visible but i know they are there. They re actually closer to fiberglass or resin which means that if the surface is discolored scratched or you re just sick of it you can paint over it in good conscience. Because marble typically has so many veins and fissures in it a crack can be repaired with an epoxy compound that will blend in with the rest of the surface.

The surface coloring is a coating does not go through the countertop. Cultured marble is a blend of marble dust and polyester resin and is often used for bathroom vanities sinks and shower pans and walls. Cultured marble is not like corian or the other so called solid surface products. Make sure you keep at the bubble popping until they are gone.

Over time cultured marble can become scratched chipped stained or simply out dated. Cultured marble countertops are excellent candidates for refinishing instead of replacement.
