DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 typically cheaper.
Worktop repair at your home in Elson
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Typical jobs include damage around the sink cut-out and chips in quartz or granite, on laminate, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Elson. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire worktop
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Elson, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Repairing versus replacing in Elson
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 the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
