Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
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 will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Long Ditton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

FAQs for Long Ditton
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
