Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can

Advice
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Draycott
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Draycott, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
