We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Should you replace it?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
