Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Haster

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Haster as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean spills right away
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Common questions in Haster

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

When to call us in Haster

Edges and corners chip most frequently, usually from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chipped corners
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Dents and gouges

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
