How to fix chip on kitchen benchtop?

[thornsanti]

Hi, can anyone provide me some advice on how and what products are needed in order to fix a 1cm chip on my kitchen benchtop please?

I was told the stone is Quantum Quartz / reconstituted stone, color: alpine white / snow. 

I got a few quotes for 250-300 so I'm wondering if it might be possible to try and DIY this fix.

Hi @thornsanti

One way to identify your benchtop is by looking beneath it. I suggest getting a torch and looking underneath your benchtop for a tag or printed name. Ceasar stone often has a large digital printout tagged onto the back of the stone top itself. This is to allow them to identify the stone top you have and how old it is. Other tops will have more or less the same style but sometimes much smaller, so keep an eye out for the printout.

If you still have the chipped piece of the benchtop you could attempt to glue it back on. You could use an epoxy paste as a filler, however, if mixed too dark it will make the damage even more noticeable. If you can identify your benchtop, I suggest calling the benchtop manufacturer just in case their repair quote is more affordable.  

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
