Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Garth Owen
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Garth Owen. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
