Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Elphinstone customers choose us
- Work done at your home or business

Common questions in Elphinstone
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Typically. A picture lets us check.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Elphinstone
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
