What we do, step by step
There’s 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.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Applethwaite: your questions answered
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Applethwaite.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Landlord and trade work in Applethwaite
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Applethwaite as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Should you replace it?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Most jobs done in one visit

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
