My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Caulk on quartzite?

2 years ago

The grout between the backsplash and countertop behind my sink has crumbled. I was thinking of scraping what is left out and filling in with silicone caulk. The quartzite is porous- Mount Blanc, around the rim of the sink there are some water stains. If I seal the backsplash with silicone caulk, do I need to be concerned with something in the caulk staining the quartzite?
