A: A cracked countertop made of solid-surface material such as Corian can be repaired to look virtually as good as new by cutting a matching scrap piece into narrow strips and gluing them into a smooth channel that straddles the crack.Feb 6, 2017
Can a chip out of Corian be repaired?
Solid-surface counters, like Corian, are made up of acrylic resins and pigments that are bonded together through heat. The color goes right through the material, which means that minor scratches can be sanded out and that some chips may not be noticeable.
Does Corian chip easily?
Solid surface materials such as Corian are fairly easily scratched, but minor scratches and blemishes can be easily buffed out with an abrasive pad. Solid surface materials are softer than granite and thus more difficult to crack, and the material has no vulnerability to etching from acidic materials.

How do you fix a chip in a solid surface countertop?
If you have the chipped piece, affix marble adhesive to the surface and to the bottom of the chip, then reinsert it firmly and hold in place. For dings, use a pigmented epoxy to closely match the color. Using a razor blade, work the epoxy into the area. Wipe excess away, and once dry, sand with fine grit paper.
Can you fill a hole in Corian?
Grind extra corian into sawdust. Make a small pile that will successfully fill the size of the hole.
What are the disadvantages of Corian?
- Easily scratched and dented because of the softer surface.
- Burns easily.
- Easily reacts to chemicals and discolours.
