Repairing a Chip on Your YDL Stone Surface

YDL Stone surfaces are designed to be strong, durable, and long-lasting. While our materials are highly resistant to daily wear, they are not completely chip-proof. On rare occasions, chips may occur due to accidental impact with heavy or sharp objects.

Can a Chip Be Repaired?

Yes — in most cases, chips on YDL Stone Mineral surfaces can be repaired. If your benchtop has been damaged after installation, we recommend contacting a qualified stonemason or repair specialist for an assessment and quote. Please note that chips caused by external impact are not covered under warranty.

How to Prevent Chips from Occurring

A few small design and usage habits can go a long way in keeping your benchtop in top condition:

• Edge Profiles Matter
  We always recommend using edge profiles with a minimum radius of 3–4mm. Rounded edges offer better resistance against chipping compared to sharp, square finishes.

• Sink Cutouts
  If your benchtop includes an undermount sink, we suggest a minimum 6mm radius on the inner edges of the cutout. This helps absorb impact and reduce the risk of chipping near the sink.

• Mind the Drawers and Cabinets
  Ensure drawers, cabinet doors, and dishwasher panels open and close smoothly without bumping into your stone surface.

• Be Gentle with Heavy Items
  Avoid dropping heavy pots, pans, or appliances directly onto the benchtop. When working with weighty cookware, consider placing a chopping board or silicone mat underneath for extra protection.
