Fissures and cracks can occur in natural stone surfaces over time or if the stone surface is exposed to outdoor elements. Specialized care must be taken when repairing stone so the finished surface remains as strong and smooth, but also to minimize the look of the repair. The surface must be cleaned and special epoxies must be selected and applied before the entire surface is re-polished. In some instances, patches or replacement tiles must be sourced and installed seamlessly.
