How To Repair Cracked Corian Countertop

Corian is a solid surface material that is often used for countertops. It is durable and easy to clean, but it can be damaged if it is hit or scratched. If your Corian countertop is cracked, you can repair it yourself with a few simple tools and materials.

Materials You Will Need

Corian repair kit
Sandpaper
Tack cloth
Isopropyl alcohol
Caulk gun
Caulk

Instructions

Clean the area around the crack with isopropyl alcohol and a tack cloth. This will remove any dirt or debris that could interfere with the repair.
Sand the edges of the crack with sandpaper. This will help to create a smooth surface for the repair material to adhere to.
Apply the Corian repair material to the crack using a caulk gun. Be sure to fill the crack completely and smooth the surface with a putty knife.
Allow the repair material to dry for the amount of time specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
Once the repair material is dry, sand it smooth with sandpaper. Be sure to use a light touch so as not to damage the surrounding Corian.
Clean the area around the repair with isopropyl alcohol and a tack cloth.
Apply caulk to the edges of the repair to seal it in place. Be sure to smooth the caulk with a damp finger.
Allow the caulk to dry for the amount of time specified in the manufacturer's instructions.

Tips

If the crack is large, you may need to use a two-part epoxy adhesive instead of a Corian repair kit.
Be sure to test the repair material in an inconspicuous area before applying it to the crack.
If you are not comfortable repairing the crack yourself, you can hire a professional to do it for you.
