Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Failed support under the worktop

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Laminate
  • Quartz

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tradeston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean spills immediately
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
