Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Edges and corners chip most often, usually from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips caused during installation

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Water-swollen laminate
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

FAQs for Heronsgate
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
Are there extra charges for Heronsgate?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Clean spills immediately
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
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.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
What affects the price in Heronsgate
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material

How to get a fixed quote

- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
