DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Old Philpstoun. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole worktop
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Questions from Old Philpstoun
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Related advice
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Use a chopping board
- Keep wood oiled
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
