Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Red Hills get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use a chopping board
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
When to call us in Red Hills
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped quartz edge
- Burns from hot pans
- A chipped edge
- Damage around the sink cut-out
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to look after the finish
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site

- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
