Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

Common questions in Aubourn
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Water-swollen laminate
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Aubourn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
