Repairing versus replacing in Eccles
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Eccles: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Usually. Send us a photo and we will tell you what’s possible.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
