What else we do in Rafford
Should I try a DIY kit 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use a chopping board
- Dry around the sink and joints
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
What affects the price in Rafford
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Repairing versus replacing in Rafford
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
