Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Magdalene. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Magdalene
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our full price list.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Materials and what they mean for the repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
