Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Shellingford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour-matched on site

See our pricing.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shellingford. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Shellingford

  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shellingford

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
