Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble

Your questions about worktop repair in Fothergill

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we’re called out for in Fothergill

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
