Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
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. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price

Advice
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Dry around the sink and joints
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
