Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Derbyshire Dales. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

Repairing versus replacing in Derbyshire Dales

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Derbyshire Dales. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Clean spills straight away

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Derbyshire Dales: your questions answered

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you work in Derbyshire Dales?

We do. Technicians travel to Derbyshire Dales from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
