CHIP AND CRACK REPAIR PROCESS

When dealing with chips and cracks on natural and engineered stone, there are many factors to take into consideration to ensure the process finishes smoothly. First, it is crucial to understand the surfaces material composition. Natural stone can have unique patterns and features due to their natural variations, whereas engineered quartz is more uniform, having no patterns.

It is important to prepare the correct repair materials depending on the type of surface being worked on. There are certain epoxies for natural stone and for engineered stone. It is also important to achieve an exact colour match with the surface. Engineered stone is manufactured to have a more consistent colour and pattern compared to natural stone.

Once the surface has been repaired, it is important polish the stone afterwards. It is highly recommended to polish the entire surface area to achieve a smooth and seamless finish, blending the repaired area with the rest of the surface. There are different polishing techniques for both natural and engineered stone, and our service technicians are highly qualified and skilled in both areas of repair.
