Questions from St Helen Auckland
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we will tell you what’s possible.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Same prices wherever you are

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep wood oiled
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
