Quartz

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Should you replace it?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elie
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Elie questions
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How much does worktop repair cost in Elie?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
What affects the price in Elie
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
