Corian and Solid Surface Restoration
Corian, Hi-Macs, Avonite, Staron, and other solid surface materials are engineered for durability, but they are not immune to damage. Scratches, burns, chips, cracks, stains, and dull spots accumulate over time — especially on kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, and commercial surfaces that see heavy daily use.
Unlike natural stone, solid surface materials can be sanded, buffed, and refinished to look like new without replacement. Rose Restoration provides professional solid surface restoration throughout Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC.
Common Solid Surface Problems We Fix
Scratches
Fine scratches from daily use, cutting, and sliding objects across the surface create a dull, worn appearance. We sand and buff solid surfaces through progressive grits to restore a smooth, uniform finish — matte, satin, or semi-gloss depending on your preference.
Burns and Scorch Marks
Hot pans, curling irons, and cigarette burns leave discolored marks on solid surface countertops. Minor burns can be sanded out completely. Deeper burns may require filling with color-matched solid surface material before refinishing.
Chips and Cracks
Impact damage from dropped objects or stress cracks from improper support are repaired with color-matched solid surface adhesive. When properly repaired, the fix is virtually invisible.
Stains and Discoloration
While solid surface materials are non-porous, some substances can cause surface discoloration — especially on lighter colors. Professional sanding removes stained surface material and restores the original color.
Seam Repair
Seams between solid surface sections can separate, discolor, or become uneven over time. We re-join, fill, and sand seams to create a seamless appearance.
Dull or Worn Finish
Years of cleaning, scrubbing, and daily use gradually dull the finish. Professional refinishing restores the surface to its original sheen level.

The Restoration Process
- Assessment — we evaluate the surface condition, identify all damage, and determine the appropriate repair approach
- Repair — chips, cracks, burns, and seam issues are repaired with color-matched materials
- Sanding — progressive sanding from coarse to fine grits removes scratches, stains, and surface damage
- Buffing — final buffing restores the desired finish level
- Cleaning — the surface is thoroughly cleaned and the work area is left spotless
Most countertop restorations are completed in 2-4 hours. The surface can be used immediately after completion.
Cost of Solid Surface Restoration
- Scratch removal and refinishing: $200-$500 for a typical kitchen countertop

- Burn mark removal: $150-$400
- Full countertop restoration: $400-$1,000
