Repairing a spill on a Silestone countertop – Madrid
In this intervention we detail the repair of a chip on the edge of a Silestone surface, caused by an accidental blow. This type of damage is common in areas with frequent use, such as kitchen countertops, vertical cladding or technical furniture, where the edges are exposed to impacts from hard objects or falls.
In a home located in Madrid, the Silestone surface had a localized loss of material at the edge (chipping), compromising both its aesthetics and its functionality. Given that Silestone is a high-density material composed mainly of quartz, resins and technical pigments, the repair requires a specialized intervention that respects the material and guarantees a homogeneous and lasting visual integration.
The process included:
Evaluate the type of damage and the conditions of the environment to confirm the possibility of making a localized repair without the need to disassemble the part.
Prepare the affected area through technical cleaning and precisely delimit the sports area.
Apply compatible materials, selected for their adhesion, resistance and ability to integrate in color and texture with Silestone.
Carry out the modeling and finishing manually, taking care of the shape of the edge and avoiding any visual excess or artifice.
Finish with a protective seal that ensures durability without modifying the adjacent surface.
The result recovers the visual and functional continuity of the edge, avoiding the total replacement of the piece or the whole, which would have entailed a high economic and environmental cost.
This case exemplifies how responsible technical intervention can extend the useful life of advanced materials, minimize their environmental impact and preserve the original design without resorting to replacement.
Conscious Repair Philosophy: Precision, Respect and Sustainability
At ARTUS Solutions, we promote a philosophy of conscious repair where each action seeks a balance between technical precision, respect for the material and ecological commitment. Repairing is not just repairing: it is deciding with criteria, minimizing waste and adding value from a sustainability perspective.
