When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Questions from Onston
Do you come to Onston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Onston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
