I cannot answer your question, as I was not able to find one several years ago. I eventually bought a set of diamond finishing pads (80 grit to 10,000 grit), found a suitable power supply to slow down my angle grinder, and then used water and elbow grease to refinish a stone fire pit. Worked out fine, however, I do not believe I am qualified to do a kitchen countertop.

My point, if you find a suitable filler, then there are tools that possibly you could use to do the final finishing, if you do not find a company to do this work.

You can try calling the countertop installers to see if they will offer this service as they would have the equipment and expertise to handle minor mistakes on their normal projects.
