What affects the price in Iron Acton
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Iron Acton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Water-swollen laminate
- Severe heat marks in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
Iron Acton: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
