Repair or replace in Harrowcross?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

How much damage there is
Where the damage is and how we get to it
How many items we do on one visit
Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

What it’s made of, if you know
One picture of the entire worktop
One sharp close-up of the damage
Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Questions from Harrowcross

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

Keep wood oiled
Steer clear of strong cleaners
Clean spills right away
Never put hot pans down directly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
We cut back any burnt or loose material.
We fill and shape the damaged area.
The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

Make sure the room can be ventilated
Make sure the area is dry
Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
