Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Tonge customers choose us

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Landlord and trade work in Tonge

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we are called out for in Tonge

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

  • Dents and gouges
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Our hiring checklist

Tonge: your questions answered

Do you come to Tonge?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Tonge and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Tonge and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How much does worktop repair cost in Tonge?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Tonge. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
