Corian Countertop Repair. Rock Hill, South Carolina



This is a Corian countertop repair in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
A Realtor in the area, Judy Castorina with Reeves Realty and Associates, contacted me to repair this countertop. They had a buyer but only if the countertops and a few other things were repaired or replaced. They did not want the expense of replacing the topss and they hoped I could help them.

The cooktop cutout has a major, two directional crack in the corner and a straight crack just to the right of the cooktop.


Now that I have the cooktop out of there, we can get access to the area and start on the repair.



The homeowners did not have any DYE LOT MATCHING material so we had to harvest it from the backsplash on the smallest top.





Here is the cooktop after the crack repair. Just like brand new.




The backsplash has been replaced on the small top, and I also did a refinish on the rest of the countertops and replaced the caulk around the cast iron drop in sink and backsplash. The countertop had tons of little pokes from a knife or something. They all came out in the refinish process.

Corian Countertop Repair. Greensboro NC

This is a Corian countertop repair in Greensboro North Carolina. There is a cracked cooktop cutout. This is a non dye lot match countertop repair.






As you can tell in the finished picture, the homeowners decided to get a new cooktop too. This was a good time for them to get one because I already had to remove the glass top cooktop that you see in the first picture. Too bad I forgot to take a picture with the nice new cooktop installed.

They were fortunate too because their new cooktop fit the same cutout without me having to do any alterations to it.

The repair came out great and the homeowners loved it. We were both incredibly happy with the non dye lot matching repair. I had prepared them for a repair that could be easily detected but we got and invisible repair instead.

Corian Countertop Alteration. New Cooktop


Here we have an old electric range that has seen it's last days. Normally you would go buy another one and keep on trucking, or cooking I should say. In this case, they no longer make a cooktop that will fit the cutout once the old range is removed.

Faced with the option of buying an entire new Corian island and a new cooktop, or having the existing Corian island altered to fit the new cooktop, these homeowners were extremely happy to find the we can make any necessary alterations to their Corian to make it fit any application they wanted.



As you can tell, this one has been installed for quite a while. Once I get it all cleaned up, I will get started with the alteration. I will be using the two cutting boards that are in the first picture.



There you have it. I was so busy working on this one that I forgot to take pics of some of things I wanted to show you, but you get the idea. I had to shrink the cooktop cutout from left to right and also add the front rail of Corian, complete with matching "Bone" colored inlay. The top is Sandstone.
