What to expect from your granite repair in Valley View, TX

Evaluation

Most granite repairs are small enough to be evaluated using photos and a phone call. There is usually an easy-to-diagnose cause of chips, holes, and broken edges so uploading photos to our site and explaining the process is usually all that is required to estimate the cause and the cost. Some granite repairs require a detailed inspection to ascertain first how the condition occurred and how your granite surface will be repaired to provide maximum long-term value.

Some cracks, hollow tiles, broken edges of tiles, and other issues are caused by the movement of your granite floor tiles. The usual cause of this for broken corners on your granite floor is improper coverage of setting material causing a void beneath the tile. A usual cause of cracking across several tiles of your granite floor is a crack in the concrete subfloor or movement in the subfloor if installed over a raised subfloor or upper floor of the home. These conditions require a larger intervention than a simple repair.

Sureshine will evaluate your granite repair in Valley View, TX and explain what can be done to achieve long-term value, the cost of the repair, and possible alternatives so you have a complete picture of what to expect.

Preparation

Some repairs require specialized adhesives, factory color matching, or special order brackets to make sure your granite repair is secure. During the inspection, your Sureshine representative will advise you on the time needed to assemble the kit necessary to perform your granite repair. Sometimes a deposit is required when ordering color-matched adhesive. We will advise you every step of the way.

Execution

On the day of your granite repair we will arrive on time, walk you through the repair again, if applicable, we will show you any custom colors that were ordered for your final approval, and execute the granite repair as described in our proposal.

Some granite repairs offered in Valley View, TX

At Sureshine, our granite crack repair process is designed to restore both the strength and beauty of your countertops. We begin by assessing the damaged area and checking for issues like rusting rods or previous repairs that may have weakened the stone. We carefully remove the damaged sink rail and cut out the rusting rod in your granite counter that is causing the granite crack.

We then reassemble the sink rail using high-quality structural adhesives to fill the crack and reinforce the granite. For larger repairs, we may use advanced techniques, like filling with filachip or reassembling broken pieces, to achieve a seamless result. Our team then polishes the repaired area to match the surrounding finish, ensuring clarity and reflection. We believe our repairs are permanent, offering a one-year warranty to back our work and give you peace of mind.

The typical chip is caused by pots and pans hitting the edge of your granite or natural stone sink or dragging something heavy up the stairs. The process of chip repair involves the use of high-strength structural epoxy or urethane that is color matched, as possible, and allowed the proper cure time (usually 1-2 hours). Sometimes faster granite repair adhesives can be used on chips that are small and may not get as much traffic.

usually occurs on a granite counter, a granite table, or a granite hearth. These surfaces tend to stick out when moving something heavy around and get banged into. The process for a granite edge repair or a granite corner repair is to save as many of the pieces as possible so that we can use them to fill gaps and holes. Sureshine will thoroughly inspect these types of repairs to make sure that proper support can be placed across the repair to prevent future breaks. We use brackets, biscuits, and other methods to strengthen corners and edges that are reassembled.

This is an involved granite repair expected to take 4-8 hours with ample time allowed for the adhesive to cure prior to sanding and polishing the surface.

are fixed using color-matched (as possible) adhesives that are designed to last. We first evaluate the area to figure out the cause of the hole so we can help to prevent further damage done to the repair area. Knowing the cause also helps us formulate a plan for the repair. The typical process includes cleaning out the holes before applying multiple colors of adhesive as necessary to provide a clean match to the granite around it. We will then sand and polish the hole so that it is flush with the surface and the finish blends. This is called the sand-to-smooth method.

When time or money needs to be saved holes can be filled using a blade and knifed flat then allowed to cure prior to wiping the hole and the surrounding area with acetone to remove residues. This is commonly done after refinishing on porous surfaces like limestone and travertine.

If you have questions about filling holes in your granite floor or counter, call Sureshine to schedule an inspection but don’t forget to upload your photos on this page so we can discuss your repair when you call.

All of the causes of these stains have different methods of removal. Some are simple chemical treatments.

Caring for your granite in Valley View, TX

You should always remember that etches and stains are distinctly different issues that can occur on your granite counters. Etches are chemical reactions that physically disrupt the surface causing ring marks and drips marks that make it look dirty and can not be removed with any level of cleaning. Etches can more easily be seen when looking at the counters at an angle. The disruption in the surface is a disruption in the shine.

2

Use coasters or other protective measures to prevent etches caused by liquids. We have all seen those rings and drip marks on our granite counters. Using coasters will keep those incidental ring marks off your counter.

Dust mop and vacuum your granite floors regularly, daily of possible. The amount of foot traffic in your home or business will determine how often you should clean.
