Repairing cracks and fractures in a stone slab

Stone or artificial and natural stone slabs are among the particularly robust elements in bathroom and kitchen construction, as well as in interior design. Of course, different materials are suitable for the various areas of application, such as wet rooms, kitchen covers, floors, walls or stairs, depending on the requirements and also visual ideas. What they all have in common, however, is that they are generally hardly susceptible to major damage such as cracks.

Extreme mechanical or thermal influences, however, can affect even the most robust stone – cracks can be the result. With such an aesthetic product as stone, cracks are of course particularly undesirable, so even hairline cracks bother stone lovers immensely. So what should you do if you discover a crack in your stone slab?

Do I need to have a fracture, crack or hairline crack in the stone slab repaired?

First of all, there is no need to worry should you discover a crack or hairline fracture in your stone slab. At least not as far as your safety is concerned. Stone slabs are usually installed by professionals and will retain adequate stability even with simple cracks. In the long run, however, you should use a repair service, as a professional can identify the severity of the crack, as well as its cause, and fix it if necessary, so that the crack does not widen into a fracture or return after repair.

From a purely visual point of view, of course, the question cannot be answered unambiguously. Here, the subjective feeling or the question of how much the crack displeases is decisive. Of course, a stone slab is a very aesthetic product, so a crack can quickly disturb, especially if it is visible accordingly. In addition, the sealing of the stone may be impaired at the crack site, especially if small splinters have broken out of the slab in addition to the crack. Here the stone is without protection, or very susceptible to further damage, which is why repair service is the right choice here as well.
