Nope. That’s permanent.

Dang it, I hate it when I have to disagree with lwo, but she's wrong. I've removed etching from engineered stone. It's not a DIY project because you should have some scrap to practice on before you attempt the real thing.

Your stone professional should use Quartz Renew. And expect to sign a waiver that the top is ruined and that the restoration professional can only make it better.

Picture proof 2nd post down.

You might consider etching the whole thing and even it out. Call it "weathered". Depends on how the etched bit looks, of course!

I have marmiline newly installed in my shower and during install it was scratched. I am trying to repair and so far no one has heard of it, knows what it is made of, and how to fix. I actually contacted the company in Canada and they do not have an answer. They kept referring me to a restoration specialist. When I contact them, they ask what it is made of. I feel like and know I am going in circles. Has anyone ever dealt with Marmiline and repaired it?

That is cultured marble. Once the gel coat is scratched, you cannot really "repair" it. You can disguise it with a clear fill of cyanoacrylate (super glue).

It depends on the depth of the scratch. I've successfully restored cultured marble.

The company Anatolia stated that the Restoration Specialist can fix it by someone polishing. I ask what it was made of and all they said is it is like marble. I have completed the install of everything, and I don't want to tear it out. I had a person use a polisher and use the different grit paper like you would if doing other products and it just added more scratches. The scratches are not into the grain, they are surface scratches. If you use the impregnated sealant will this help at all. Mine is the dark grey color shadow and I've been told the darker the color the harder it is to mask issues. Thank you for additional info.

" The scratches are not into the grain, they are surface scratches. If you use the impregnated sealant will this help at all "

No.

It will make a smeary mess is what a sealer will do. Using abrasives on that has permanently scratched the protective gel coat. It is not repairable. It is live with it or replace it.

DeWayne:

You don't get to repeat things that aren't true. It isn't that cut and dried. There is context and nuance as I've explained previously.

My husband was able to sand the Marmiline and remove the scratches. It looks great. Now we need to add back the get coat. Can you recommend one that will resotre the look.

If the finish is restored, there is no adding gel coat.

I have Marmiline as my shower sill and it has scratches. The company told me to treat it like granite. One refinisher said the shadow color is too hard to get scratches out and you can ruin the color and another said it is easy. I am not sure what to do or what to believe at this point

Hi Kim I also have marmilline in the shadow color in my bathroom and have scratches. Could you let me know how you got the scratches out? I have had one refinisher say it can be done and another say it cannot. thanks

It's engineered stone and the finish can be restored with a Quartz Renew kit, however, replacement may be more cost effective.
