Repair of a chipped edge on a Neolith brand countertop – Barcelona
In this intervention, we document the repair of a sports injury located on the edge of a Neolith surface , caused by an accidental blow. This type of damage is common in areas exposed to intensive use, such as countertops, vertical cladding or technical furniture, where the edges are vulnerable to impacts from hard objects or falls.
The affected surface, installed in a home in Barcelona, had visible material loss at the edge, compromising both the aesthetics and functional continuity of the design. Since Neolith is a high-density sintered material, with advanced technical properties such as resistance to scratches, heat and chemicals, its repair requires a specialized approach, respectful of the original characteristics.
The process included:
Evaluation of the type of damage and the installation environment, to determine the feasibility of a localized repair without disassembly.
Preparation of the area through technical cleaning and precise delimitation of the sport.
Application of compatible materials , selected for their adhesion, resistance and ability to mimic the color and texture of Neolith.
Manual modeling and finishing , taking care of the geometry of the edge and avoiding visual overloads or artifice.
Final protection with sealing, ensuring durability without altering the adjacent surface.
The result allows the visual and functional continuity of the edge to be recovered , avoiding the complete replacement of the piece or the whole, which would have involved a considerable economic and environmental cost.
This repair is a clear example of how responsible technical intervention can extend the useful life of advanced materials, reduce environmental impact and preserve the original design without resorting to replacement.
