Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Advice
FAQs for Haughley
Do I need to be at home?

Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you come to Haughley?

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we are called out for in Haughley
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Chipped corners
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Damage to a stone worktop
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
What affects the price in Haughley
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Haughley. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Haughley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
