Words can’t even describe how gutted and annoyed I am at myself today. I did the unthinkable and but a hot pan down on my quartz worktop. Realized what I’d done pretty quickly but it has burnt the resin and left a mark. My kitchen is only a few weeks old and we only had the worktops fitted about 4 weeks ago. Like I said so so so annoyed with myself, how did I never manage to do something like this on my old laminate worktop?!!! When it comes to wrecking things I must have expensive taste. I’ve spent the morning ring around local granite/quartz suppliers (including the company that installed it) asking if they do repairs but it seems like it can’t be repaired!! I have however spoken to a company called plastic-surgeon fine finishes and they say they can repair it (although no guarantees till they see it) they charge £80 for the first hour and £40 for the second plus VAT and they said it should take no longer than two hours. Plus if they can’t repair it then there’s no charge so hopefully nothing to lose. Just after some advice really on how to repair the damage, or on plastic-surgeon fine finishes if anyone’s used them before. Any help would be great.
Do you have home insurance with an accidental damage option?...not perhaps the ideal way to go but something to consider if you have it linked to you policy...

You could try doing something similar to this article on worktop repair they mention laminate in the article but I'm sure you could do it with quartz. If you do you can just make sure you get a nice quartz slab/tile so it matches your existing. I guess it also depends where the damage is.
