Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Wipe up spills quickly

Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add 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.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Swinton: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Swinton?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Swinton?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
