Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Penlan: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Generally. A picture lets us check.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What affects the price in Penlan
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use a chopping board
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
