Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
If you are in Rise Carr and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Dry around the sink and joints
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace in Rise Carr?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
