- A chipped quartz edge
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Scratches and knife marks

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Repairing versus replacing in Staple Tye
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Landlords, agents and businesses in Staple Tye
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
