How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Great Lumley questions
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Great Lumley

What else we do in Great Lumley
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean spills right away
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
