Why repair rather than replace?

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. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lidsing

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

For anyone letting property in or around Lidsing, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Lidsing: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ME7 postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
