Repair or replace in California?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep wood oiled
- Wipe up spills quickly
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
When to call us in California
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Dents and gouges
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Chips in quartz or granite
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in California use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
