Chipping Hammer
Fixing Chips on Natural Stone
No matter how hard a stone is, there are occasions where accidents happen. You may drop a pan, knife, hammer, or anything you can imagine over your granite or
marble slab
that will cause it to chip. Now, that can have disastrous results to the beauty and image of your stone countertops. The good thing is that chipping is not beyond repair. Here are the things you should do to restore the esthetic appeal of your stone countertops.
Pieces of the puzzle
Chips are like pieces of the puzzle that is your stone countertops. Should chipping occur, be sure to get all the pieces and keep them safe. You can still glue the pieces back to the surface and if the repair is done skillfully, the damage won’t be noticeable. But the surface would be beyond repair if you throw away the pieces. So if you’re granite or marble chips, be sure to keep the pieces safe.
Clean the area thoroughly
Next is to clean the area of damage thoroughly with water or a stone cleaner. After cleaning, give the area ample time to dry. This is in preparation for the repair to be done to the granite or
marble countertop
. Marble countertops are delicate materials that need careful handling when this material. Generally, a Mable is a limestone made from soft calcium material that contains some elements of clay, silt, sand or iron. Marbles are also decorated in different colors and made from different patterns. Because of the nature of the materials, it is important to have an idea of how to clean them.
Natural stone adhesive
There are adhesives for natural stone that you can get from hardwares and stone shops. These are designed also for a specific type of stone, so you can get adhesives for marble slabs and granite applications. Be sure to get clear and non-staining types to prevent discoloration and for easy clean-up. Also, read the labels for proper use and application. But generally, it’s a matter of gluing the chips back to the surface. Remember to wipe away any excess adhesive before it dries.
Apply a polisher
After giving it time to dry, it’s time to polish the damaged area. This is to clear away any excess adhesive and to give an even sheen and gloss to the whole surface. Doing so can prevent the damaged area from being conspicuous.
The success of the repair would depend on the extent of the damage and the skill of the repairman. If done skillfully, the damage escapes notice and would only be apparent for those in-the-know. If you have no confidence in your skills, you can always call a pro to do it for you. The important thing to remember is that stone chipping does not mean the end for your stone countertops.
