Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

When to call us in Horspath

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Chipped corners
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Dents and gouges

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
