Fixing Chips, Cracks, Scratches and Grout on Natural Stone Floors and Benchtops


How to Repair Chipped Stone Floors
The latest technology to fix chipped stone floors uses UV epoxy glue, which is similar to an ingredient in dentists’ tooth fillings. The advantage here is that you get better results with the hardest materials.

After a perfect repair by the Marble Man technicians, the chipped area won’t be easily recognizable as it will be colour matched, levelled & polished.

Benefits:
  • The repaired floor tiles become stronger than its original state because of the presence of high quality UV epoxy glue used in the repair process.
  • The menace of dirt entering the chip is completely stopped.
  • Epoxy’s colour matches with that of the stone tiles, making the repair unnoticeable.

Scratches and Cracks in the Floor
High-quality resin bond diamond pads and special wet polishing machines are used for repairing scratches. The work involves grinding the scratched surface and then using 1500 grit polish to further refine the surface. Next, a diamond polishing compound is used to bring back the original shine. This way, you get the best result without replacing the tiles.

Where there are cracks in the floor, we first apply a special coloured epoxy resin to the crack. Wait 5 minutes for the epoxy to dry, then it’s ground back to the level of the stone surface. The area is then polished to perfection and you get back the initial glossy surface. We use the epoxy with a similar colour to the stone, so the cracks won’t be visible at a glance.
