How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Alnwickhill: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Alnwickhill?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Alnwickhill?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EH16 postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
