Audley End questions
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Typically, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
Everywhere in the UK, Audley End included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Repair or replace in Audley End?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
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.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a chopping board
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
When to call us in Audley End
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Dents and gouges
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Scorch marks from pans
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
