Chip Repair
A chip in any hard surface — worktop, bath, tile, sink or stone — can be repaired invisibly in a single visit. No replacement needed.
Chips happen to every surface in the home — a dropped pan chips the worktop, a heavy mug chips the sink, a dropped bottle chips the bath. In almost every case, replacing the whole item is completely unnecessary. A specialist chip repair rebuilds the missing material, colour-matches it precisely and leaves a finish indistinguishable from the original.
At FinishWise we repair chips across the full range of hard surfaces: kitchen worktops in granite, stone, laminate and solid surface; baths, basins and sinks in enamel, acrylic and porcelain; ceramic, porcelain and stone tiles; natural stone cills and features; and uPVC window and door frames.
Each repair is completed on-site in a single visit. We bring colour-matched compounds for every surface type, so there is no waiting for parts or materials. Most chip repairs take under two hours and cost a fraction of the replacement quote you might otherwise receive.
Chip repair costs a fraction of replacing the damaged item. A granite or stone worktop chip repair costs hundreds, not thousands. In most cases it is completed in under two hours in a single visit — far cheaper than any alternative.
Repair vs. replace — why it makes sense
Before spending thousands on replacement, consider what a professional cosmetic repair actually delivers.

Full Replacement
The edges and corners of surfaces are the most vulnerable areas for chipping — worktop corners and exposed edges, the rim of a bath, the lip of a basin and the corner of a tile are all high-impact points where a dropped or swinging object causes the most damage. These locations are also the most visible, which is why a chip on a worktop edge catches the eye immediately even though the rest of the surface is perfect.
Chips on newly installed surfaces are particularly frustrating, as they are often caused by builders, fitters or delivery teams during the installation process rather than through normal use. We work closely with kitchen and bathroom fitters, as well as homeowners who have discovered damage at handover — restoring new surfaces to perfect condition before the room is put into regular use.
We carry a comprehensive kit of repair compounds, colour pigments and finishing tools specifically matched to each surface type. This means we can match the specific pattern, speckle, vein or grain of your surface rather than applying a generic fill — producing repairs that are truly invisible rather than merely hidden.
How it works
A straightforward process, from first contact to finished repair.
- 01
Send us a photo
WhatsApp or email a clear photo of the chip. We will confirm it can be repaired and provide a free no-obligation quote within 24 hours, often within a few hours.
- 02
Colour matching
We arrive with a full range of colour-matched compounds for your surface type — granite, enamel, ceramic, stone or uPVC — and verify the match precisely before starting.
- 03
Rebuild the chip
The chipped area is cleaned, degreased and prepared. The repair is built up layer by layer to restore the correct profile, colour, pattern and surface texture.
- 04
Invisible finish
The repair is blended and machine-polished until it is indistinguishable from the surrounding surface under normal viewing conditions. Most chip repairs are completed in under two hours.

- In the vast majority of cases, no. We inspect repairs from multiple angles in different lighting conditions before signing off, to ensure the repair is invisible in normal use.
- Yes. Chips in ceramic and porcelain tiles are rebuilt and colour-matched in place. For patterned or textured tiles we also match the surface texture and finish.
