Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bowcombe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Do you need worktop repair in Bowcombe?
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

- Chips near the sink
- Chips caused during installation
- Knife marks
- Scorch marks from pans

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Wipe up spills quickly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A top that moves on its units
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
