Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
Repairing versus replacing in Lawrence Hill
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lawrence Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
