Granite counter help

Hi - We just bought a house, granite counters are 15-20 years old. Around the base of the faucet, there are a few of these defects. It's like something ate away an individual crystal out of the granite. I'm wondering if they are a problem, and if I should do something to them. Thanks.

I would assume those could be filled in with an epoxy.

I don't see really well but it can probably be filled with epoxy.____________________Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage. •Niccolo Machiavelli

Easiest thing to do is get yourself some thin superglue. Lightly fill the area and let it cure. Any glue that is above the surface can easily be shaved (not cut) down with a razor blade. All be good after this.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.

Sorry, just read you got the house. I would buy some granite sealer (it is cheap), put a dab on a paper towel and see if it makes the spot less noticeable. You could probably fill in with clear epoxy, or try the superglue recommendation if it really bothers you.

Fill or just seal. Granite is forever. Congrats on the house.

Don't you think it might be prudent to ask a granite counter top specialist before trying to repair it with something you may later regret?

Sorry to act so helpless, but I'm thinking I would clean them a little with some keyboard can spray, try to wipe them out, and put the glue in when there is just a slightly damp surface - because I thought those glues cure with water?-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini.
