DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Short Heath. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Short Heath questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A fixed quote before booking
- Work done at your home or business
See our prices page.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
