Cultured marble vanity tops
are very common in new home construction and older homes throughout the
country. Bathtubs or Shower wall coverings made of cultured marble can
also be found. The countertop or vanity top fixtures are identified as
being one solid piece, counter and sink bowl molded as one. Cultured
marble gets its name because of its marble appearance. |

Over the years cracking can
appear typically at the drain area as seen in this picture or along the
edges of a bathtub. Cultured marble can easily become scratched, abused by
abrasive cleansers, sharp objects or can be burned by cigarettes, curling
irons or candles. Also the bowls tend to developed moderate to large
cracks around the drain area or sometimes staining can be seen on the
surface |

you may want to refinish the entire fixture. In any case, refinishing or
repairing your cultured marble is a lot cheaper then replacing it,
especially if you have a custom sized bathtub or countertop. |
