Comments (1)Yes, it can. Give a call to a local fabricator. He can mix some resin right in your home to match the stone, fill in the missing chip, sand it, buff it, and you're good to go....See MoreRepairing an acrylic bathtub with a very small nick
Comments (3)I know how frustrating that is, it happened to me - we had the tub covered in plywood and the tile man removed it to tile up to the edge of the tub - it was very upsetting to say the least for this to happen so close to completion. I called hydrosystems and they said they have authorized repair men that come in sand and fill the little nick. It's not something I would ever try myself! I left it alone but then the granite guy left something loose that fell in the tub and left a huge chip rather gouge in the bottom so I need to have it done soon, I'll let u know how it goes Rahcel...See MoreDo I have to worry about this little chip on new silgranit sink?
Comments (12)I don't recall my Silgranite sink having that curve in the back edge. So I dug through some of my progress photos, and sure enough I found a couple pics of the sink before I installed it, and no indent like yours. Now that does not mean yours is defective, perhaps they've modified it? My sink was installed not quite a year ago... BTW you are going to love that sink! My sink is one of the top five best improvements of my kitchen re-do :)...See MoreChipped tile at door threshold in new bathroom. What to do?
Comments (23)The tile I have in the bathroom is called "Regency Grey Tile" 3/8" thick porcelain from Floor and Decor. Here is a side view. Before people start judging me, this is how the seller's had it (but they had a white marble threshold), and I'm new to all this, so I didn't know any better. The difference in height as you step into the bathroom has always been there and has never bothered me. But maybe going to a wood saddle can reduce it a bit, although even without the marble, the tile bathroom floor is over an inch higher than the hardwood floors. But a wood saddle can also cover the side profile of the door threshold which will be nice. Just not keen on seeing wood inside the bathroom with doors closed, but can't get it all at this point I guess. I just wish there was a way I could get a custom piece of granite/quartz cut that could be a new threshold and cover those chips. GC told me marble can't be cut that thin (for that last 1 inch to cover the chips) because it will break. How can those grey tiles be used for to make a "saddle"? I have a few extra and they are large tiles...Beth, I sort of understand what you said, just a bit confused. The bathroom really looks great aside from this. This is the one thing they got wrong. Just trying to fix it and make it look as good as possible at this point. I really want marble/quartz/granite for the threshold...I just dont want to have to cut the tiles in there and damage the door moldings....See Moreheimert
