hello

did kitchen cabinet renovation at new condo back in June 2023,
all seems ok for the first few months

then gaps started to appear last month as attached photos between the wall tiles and kitchen cabinet

and gaps from the installed quartz stone

what can i do / buy / use to prevent further bigger gaps in the future please?

thank you

Hard to tell from pictures alone, is there any movement of your cabinet? heavy load? if the answer is no, then you can buy some those wall plaster/putty filla and seal it back on your own. You can get it in shopee.

If the gap is getting bigger, then keep an eye on any possible mistakes in installation. Otherwise, just some rubber/plaster dried out and falls apart.

putty filla+1

can buy from mr diy shop

White silicone is also OK

paintable caulk like these

Use anti mold silicone for kitchen, but you need to practice on how to caulk properly

thanks for the reply

means basically those silicone sealant can be used ? hmm

its new , never put anything on the shelves or cabinet yet, lol (have not move in yet)

i think the contractors used not enough sealant when they fixed those gap together?

i believe there is "warranty" provided by ur carpentry? can ask them to fix it

Epoxy or resin, or even better, search out 'quartz repair kit'

he is those so call one person kind of contractor, dont have shop lot

not even contract signed or wat not, cannot claim much , doubt he even layan me sigh,

not quartz le, i think more to when put the wooden panel against the wall, want to close the gap, he apply those gap filler thing ?

then after few months dried off then suddenly got gap
