Repair or replace in Yardley?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

Yardley: your questions answered
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean spills immediately
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Common problems we fix in Yardley
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Burns from hot pans
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole worktop
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
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. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Yardley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
