How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean spills immediately
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use a chopping board
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Questions from Dolphinton
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you come to Dolphinton?
We do. We send a technician to Dolphinton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Repair or replace in Dolphinton?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
