Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 12, 2011 2:29 pm Our house is almost at completion PCI is next week. We have a chipped cesarstone. Its chipped at the corner around 2cm x 1 cm, very visible. I brought it to the notice of my SS. Who is addressing it with some putty and paint is this acceptable? Tarneit : The Reserve Re: Chipped Ceasar stone 2Aug 12, 2011 2:35 pm Whether it's acceptable is up to you. They are of course trying the cheap way first. You are paying for a brand new perfect bench not a repaired one http://lindeman28.blogspot.com - Our building blog Re: Chipped Ceasar stone 3Aug 12, 2011 2:36 pm +1 - it might be acceptable if they offered you a nice cheque back (as if!), otherwise they should replace it. You do still hold the final cheque and a little power!

Re: Chipped Ceasar stone 5Aug 12, 2011 10:44 pm Caesar stone repairs very well. We had some chips (my fault...don't clamp a vice to your kitchen bench). Anyway, since Caesar stone is synthetic (resin and crushed rock) it makes it easy to repair. The same repair in marble or granite and trying to match the natural variations in the stone would be exceedingly difficult. my house blog: http://sugarloafdrivebuild.blogspot.com/ Re: Chipped Ceasar stone 6Aug 13, 2011 9:19 am Don't accept it unless you get a full credit back for the cost of your upgrade. As said before you paid for brand new, not repaired. We neve picked up on a few bathroom porcelain repairs that the builder conveniently forgot to mention, and 5 years later they were vey noticeable.
