Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Pootings. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most clients in Pootings 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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
