Had a lovely new stone worktop installed in the kitchen and noticed an area of approx 3cm which has a very matt appearance, and tiny holes - see pic. I don't know if this is a natural imperfection in the stone, or if it's been (poorly) filled. Annoyingly, the imperfection is right next to the hob, where we do food prep and I'm worried it'll get grubby / discolored.
I also don't know how well it will do over time - if it's been filled, is there a chance the filler might come out and we'll be left with a big hole..?
Does anyone have experience of filling tiny holes in stone? What did you use?
I've contacted both the stone suppliers and the fabricators but they're both denying responsibility and won't even recommend a product that I can use myself... it's pretty disheartening as it wasn't cheap! (I didn't notice the imperfection when I went to the stone yard as it was such a large slab...)
We do have a part of the slab left over, so I was almost wondering whether to just replace part of the worktop, though no one else seems bothered by it. It just annoys me to know it's there, and I worry how well it will do over time.
The stone is Taj Mahal Quartzite (also known as Perla Venata).
