Repair duration varies depending on the extent of the damage and the type of repair required. Most repairs can be completed in a single visit. The final seal typically takes approximately 2 hours to dry, after which the surface is ready for normal use.

Repairing damaged stone surfaces restores aesthetic appeal and ease of use. Beyond appearance, repairs are important for hygiene — bacteria can accumulate in cracks and chips, creating an unsanitary surface. A smooth, sealed surface is easier to clean and safer for food preparation.

For damage under 5mm, the repair is almost always invisible to the naked eye. For larger repairs, while the result may not be perfectly invisible, the repaired area will look significantly better than the damage and will be structurally sound and hygienic.
