Black - Granite, Quartz, Marble, Corian, Porcelain Worktop Chip Repair Kit - Black Granite Repair Kit - HIMG Surface Repair

I bought this kit in black because I’d had an outrageous £150 quote to repair a sizable chip in my granite composite worktop. Some bright spark had decided to open a beer bottle using the side edge. Whilst I’m not the world’s best at DIY the kit was practically fool proof. The curing times took slightly longer than the five minutes stated, but my particular chip was quite deep so I approached it in several layers. For that reason, I would’ve appreciated slightly more sanding paper as the tiny squares weren’t quite enough and the curing strip was quite thin. Everything was provided in the kit it was very user-friendly and I’m delighted with the repair which you can only see if you knew where to look for it.

I was a bit sceptical as to whether this was going to do a good job or not but decided for £23 it was worth a try. I had three chips of various sizes on the corner edges of my black granite worktops and also a few other chips on the flat work surfaces area. I tackled the largest chip first, which measured approx 1 cm x 7mm x 4mm depth and managed to do a flawless repair in one go with 10 minutes curing time with the light supplied. If you didn’t know where it was, you wouldn’t be able to spot the repair. Even when you know where to look, it doesn’t look like a repair at all. It’s fantastic! I then did the others with similar success. One or two needed a second go at it to perfect it, especially those on corners where you need to fill both horizontal and vertical sides. This kit is so easy to use. Once the light was on it, I carried on with other jobs around the kitchen while it was curing ‘cause there is nothing worse that watching something and waiting for the time to pass before you can continue with the next stage! I went round my whole kitchen looking for little imperfections that I can work my magic on. It is a very satisfying job to do and I am very pleased with the results. I did find that the polishing head on a dremel tool with the polishing cream supplied in this kit did produce a better finish than just with the cream & cloth alone. Was definitely money well spent!

I bought this to repair a black granite fire place that had something drop on it, chipping the front edge twice. (Each 1cm long) I was unsure if this would work but it's done the job. What was a light grey chip or two that you could see a mile off is now perfectly blended and flat, completely matching the rest of the fire place. It wasn't easy to use as I was doing a front/top edge chip which I knew was awkward to fill. I used a bit of clear plastic taped to the front face so It could fill the gap between and then all I needed to do it flatten the top face when filled. It took a long time to set but this is probably due to the plastic that the UV light had to penetrate to set the resin rather than the actual materials. They supply a little reflective cardboard sunbed / stand for the UV torch that is also supplied. This can be frustrating to use on shiny surfaces as all it wants to do is collapse so make sure you have something handy to wedge by it to stop the slide. The repair is solid and has been in place over a month with no deterioration. Highly recommend for SMALL repairs.

Does not cure

The chips pictured had already been glued back into place, but looked awful and had bits missing. My kit came with a battery powered light. The instructions were clear and it worked well. I was super impressed that the sandpaper included did not scratch the quartz. However, the kit was missing a stand and tip for the tube (mentioned in the information), almost lost a point for that but the product was so good that I changed my mind. Let the before and after photos do the talking, 99% perfect.

I had two chips out of a bathroom marble countertop. First one filled and cured quiet well. It needed a touch up the day after, a small further application was required. This application would not adhere to the previous nor would it cure. Second chip would not cure at all. I think the mini blue light LED was past its best by this point. Could be very good but just fell short of the mark for me.

I'm so chuffed with this product, the morning after a party, I noticed somebody had used my granite counter top to open a beer. The huge chunk taken out was a little disheartening because I assumed the costs would be staggering for a minimalist repair job...and also nobody owned up to it. I applied as the leaflet suggested and did several layers, using my own household tape (as suggested) if chips were wider than the curing strip provided. The counter top is also bevelled which of course doesn't help me, but I hope you agree, if you can tell the difference its negligible. The only deviation I took, was using very fine 2500 wet paper after it cured before polishing. The leaflet mentions that you can attempt to mix colours with the polish to get somewhere closer to the original, but I didn't feel comfortable, whilst also not owning anything to mix with. The counter top is mainly black anyway. I also had a quote for this repair, providing the photos of the damage and mentioned the measurements of the chip, 1.5x1.0 cm and about a 0.4 cm deep at its worst. They came back with a competitive quote of £288 (inc VAT), whilst also worth mentioning in their quote, the repair would be visible still. SO. To see that this product did probably the same job whilst costing a fraction of the money :)

Skeptical at first whether this would be good or just leave a mess. All bits required for repair included in a little box with comprehensive instructions. Followed these instructions to repair three separate damages to quartz sink cut-out area. Amazed at the ease of use and finish of repairs. Cured using light from the torch included in the pack. Who knew? Not me. Delighted with my purchase.

Didn’t work and caused more of an issue

Produit utilisé pour réparer un éclat de la taille d’une pièce de deux euros dans une pierre de marbre noir (cuisine). Mise en œuvre facile. Mais il faut se donner le temps pour le séchage et durcissement. La partie verticale n’a même pas requis de ponçage, la jointure biseautée a pu être travaillée de telle façon que la réparation est passée inaperçue. Le kit est très complet: en plus du liquide à durcir, il comprend un petit set de nettoyage, 3 petits morceaux de papier de verre (le plus fin: 2000), une pâte à polir, une spatule. AUCUNE salissure lors du travail. À ce prix là, c’est un maître-achat !

Prodotto rispondernte alla descrizione, facilità d'utilizzo. Non conosco la resistenza nel tempo

Köp inte, denna härdar inte. Följt instruktionerna med UV lampa, men är kladdig fortfarande!!! Fick torka bort och ska prova annan produkt.

Im Granit der Küchenarbeitsplatte war eine daumengrosse Abplatzung an der Kante. Die Stelle mit Paketklebeband abgeklebt und mit der Spritze die Stelle aufgefüllt. Mit der UV-Lampe die Masse ausgehärtet fertig. Man sieht die Stelle nur, wenn man es weiß. Wenn es jetzt auch noch hält, ist alles gut.
