Quartz worktop repair
Quartz worktops are popular for their durability, sleek appearance, and low maintenance. However, despite being highly resistant to damage, they are not completely indestructible. Chips, cracks, stains, burns, and surface dulling can occur due to heavy impact, heat exposure, or installation issues. The good news is that most quartz worktop damage can be repaired on site without the need for full replacement.
Assessing the damage
The repair process always begins with a thorough assessment. We will inspect the worktop to identify the type and extent of damage, as well as the colour, pattern, and finish of the quartz. This step is crucial because quartz is an engineered stone, and repairs must blend seamlessly with the existing surface.
Common types of damage assessed include:
Chips along edges or corners
Hairline or structural cracks
Quartz chip repairs.
Chips are among the most common issues, especially around sink cut-outs or worktop edges. On-site repair involves cleaning the damaged area thoroughly and then filling it with a high-quality colour-matched resin or polymer compound. These fillers are specially designed to mimic the appearance and strength of quartz.
After the filler cures, the area is carefully shaped, smoothed, and polished to match the surrounding surface,restoring both appearance and functionality
