When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Failed support under the worktop
- Discolouration deep in quartz

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
What else we do in Cairston
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Questions from Cairston
Do you work in Cairston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cairston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are there extra charges for Cairston?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Re-oil timber worktops
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
