How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire worktop

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Look out for these signs:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Dents and gouges
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A damaged sink edge
