Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use a chopping board
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Getting a price from photos

- One picture of the entire worktop
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Rough Common, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Questions from Rough Common
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for Rough Common?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rough Common. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rough Common as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
