What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Common questions in Saxtead
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Saxtead, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep wood oiled
- Do not let water sit on joints
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
