Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Do not let water sit on joints
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair

- Discolouration deep in quartz
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Quartz

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Galleywood. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
