About our worktop repair in Ecton
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Typical jobs include damage to a stone worktop and scorch marks from pans, in granite & marble, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian).
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Ecton
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Chips caused during installation
- Knife marks
- Damage around the sink cut-out

Can I fix it myself?
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 normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Use a chopping board
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Ecton: your questions answered
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Ecton?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Ecton
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ecton. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ecton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
