Identify the joint problem
A failed adhesive line may be cleaned and renewed where the stone remains sound and stable. A height difference, moving cabinet or broken edge can require a different approach. Photograph along the joint in side lighting as well as from above, with a wider view showing the cabinet layout.
Re-gluing and finishing
Suitable joints are prepared and refilled with an appropriate colour-matched system. The aim is a neat, practical seam, not to erase every visible join. Veining, existing gaps and the finish on each piece remain part of the appearance. We do not promise to grind engineered stone back to its original factory sheen.
Starting costs
Joint repair starts from $550 + GST. Additional joints are typically an extra $150–$200 + GST each, depending on their condition and scope. Support or cabinet work, removal and complicated alignment need a separate assessment.
When another trade is needed
If the base cabinets have moved, repairing adhesive alone may be short-lived. Tell us about recent plumbing, appliance replacement or renovations. Where a waterfall joint is unstable or cannot be made sound in place, replacement may be recommended.
A completed waterfall joint repair
The East Lindfield case study shows repairs to waterfall joints in Super White dolomite. Original photographs include the joint before work and the repaired finish. It is a reference for this completed job; the condition, support and appearance of your own joint still need assessment.

Questions, answered.

Can a waterfall joint be repaired?
A stable, suitable waterfall joint may be prepared and refilled. Movement or failed support needs attention first. The completed East Lindfield job shows an actual Super White dolomite waterfall joint before and after repair.
Is an open joint the same as a crack?
A joint follows the line between separate stone pieces. A crack travels through a piece of stone. Photograph the line from above and the side so we can assess the appropriate service.
