Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Questions from Gillingham
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Gillingham
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 typically far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

When we’d advise against a repair

What worktop repair costs

- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Advice
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
