Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Read our prices page.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Barton

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
