Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

See our prices page.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Portlethen
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chipped quartz edge
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips on edges and corners
- Gouges in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What affects the price in Portlethen
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Common questions in Portlethen
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, often. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Portlethen included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
