Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Newmarket get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Questions from Newmarket
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you work in Newmarket?
We do. We send a technician to Newmarket for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Why repair rather than replace?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
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 will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- 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.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Use a chopping board
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, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A top that moves on its units
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
