Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to compare quotes

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Upper Ifield, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole worktop

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
