Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Farnham: your questions answered

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price.
