Help!: Quartz chip repair

[slikt]

Guys,

The wife has had a butter fingers moment this morning and dropped a cup out the cupboard which has landed base edge down which in turn has chipped my 1 month old black sparkle worktop

Its only 10mm long, 3mm wide and 2mm deep (so not that bad) lol

As you can imagine, i'm not the happiest of people today, anyway I've done a search and cant find anything apart from 'colourfill' any ideas on a diy kit rather than pay an inflated price for a stone repair company?

Cheers

You could just replace the tile..... If not, Plastic can repair it at a cost!

haha. . it was after I got hold of it

My bad for misreading.... Stone repair or plastic surgeon then. £100-£150 is a bargain compared to replacing and a cheap repair will probably look worse than the chip.

Yeah I know what your saying, my guy is saying £85+vat, which isn't the end of the world, just wasnt sure if I could buy a kit or the resin based products myself at cost. Mind you why should I care, the ball and chain is paying for it lol

I thought it was a small worktop too.

I forgot to say, its the worktop in the kitchen of my ant farm lol

Hope no ants were hurt

You could put a chopping board over it, and it won't happen again

Honestly, it was one of those moments that happen in slow motion. . I nearly jumped up and dived towards its shouting "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" lol

Hope no ants were hurt

No ants were hurt in the making of this thread lol

I would replace the whole worktop and whilst you were at it put a new 'Smallbone' kitchen in and retile the flooring.


Failing that £85+vat is the way to go......


Buy the missus some plastic beakers aswell, or even better get her some juggling lessons. nice touch that would be after all that shouting at her...

I'd try and take the worktop back, surely its not fit for purpose if it can't take a knock or two?

It is a work bench/top after all.

I think that some members may be taking this thread in a light hearted way and not looking at the real issues that are at stake here!
Is this a marriage that is on the ROCKS.
His I MONTH old pride and joy has been damaged and he will sell the 'ball and chain' to remedy the situation.
Does he really have an Ant Farm and could it's purpose be for the disposal of the evidence/culprit and is there too much care being taken with the well being of these ants?
And what about the mention of a Plastic Surgeon - is this to allow him to slip away after.

It may sound like a chip, but is an Epoxy Resin really the right answer!

i hope this will cheer you up mate....


Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant

But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes

as much hope as selling the wife
