Crack and Chip Repair

Commercial hard floors, as well as being beautiful and making a statement about your business, are resilient and ideally suited to persistent heavy traffic over extended periods of time. These floor coverings are thicker than meets the eye and thus, where damage or excessive wear occurs, can usually be repaired. Chips, cracks, surface wear and even large holes can occur during the ageing cycle of a stone floor.

At Lifeline Stone Care we address these defects on a case-by-case basis to determine the most suitable strategy often submitting samples against budgets to offer a range of services and solutions. In all but a very few situations, repairing the floor is far less intrusive and costly than replacement and we aim to assist the commercial building or facilities manager in achieving both immaculate safe floors and meeting budgets and programs.

Repairs can be carried out in a number of different ways be it piecing in of new sections, replacing individual tiles or slabs, resin repairs or ‘plastic repairs’ using blends of stone dust and lime or resin to achieve an accurate match to the existing surface. Where extensive programs or areas of repair are envisaged we are always receptive to carrying out repairs to sample areas or can send images of sample repairs where small projects are concerned.

Maintaining hard surfaces in a good state of repair makes sound sense from a health and safety perspective in so far as slips, trips and falls can be minimised if repairs are carried out in a timely fashion particularly if floors are regularly Slip Tested.
