Pebble Epoxy Over Cultured Marble

Used epoxy resin to clear coat an etched cultured marble vanity top that i had painted to resemble carrara marble.

Pebble epoxy over cultured marble.

Cultured marble is not like corian or the other so called solid surface products. 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. I have a few that must have surfaced and popped later and have left tiny indentations on the surface. Cultured marble is a blend of marble dust and polyester resin and is often used for bathroom vanities sinks and shower pans and walls.

Over time cultured marble can become scratched chipped stained or simply out dated. In addition to being unsightly these cracks can actually cause harm to your installation over time by being a conduit to moisture and weakening the overall integrity of the stone. Make sure you keep at the bubble popping until they are gone. Not hugely visible but i know they are there.

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. Cultured marble countertops are excellent candidates for refinishing instead of replacement.
