- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Water-swollen laminate
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Your questions about worktop repair in Auckland Park
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Auckland Park?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Auckland Park
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Can I fix it myself?
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 will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Use a chopping board
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Solid surface

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
