Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire worktop
Most clients in East Tilbury get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Keep wood oiled
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Failed support under the worktop
- Water-swollen laminate
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
Questions from East Tilbury
Do I need to empty the worktop?
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, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you cover the entire of Thurrock?
Everywhere in the UK, East Tilbury included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
