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

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

Can pets and children be at home?

- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

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
