Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Shirley: your questions answered

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How much does worktop repair cost in Shirley?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you cover Shirley?

We do. We send a technician to Shirley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Landlord and trade work in Shirley

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Southampton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Honest limits

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

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Shirley, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
