Porcelain worktops — large format porcelain slabs used as kitchen and bathroom surfaces — are becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to quartz and granite. They are extremely hard and scratch resistant, but they can chip at edges and corners, and when they do, the hard fired ceramic body is exposed.
What Is a Porcelain Worktop?
Porcelain worktops are made from large format fired ceramic tiles, typically 6-12mm thick. They are harder than quartz, completely non-porous and highly resistant to heat and scratches. Brands include Dekton (which crosses between sintered stone and porcelain), Neolith, Laminam, Porcelanosa and many others.
Can Porcelain Worktops Be Repaired?
Yes, though porcelain is among the more challenging materials to repair. The extreme hardness means chips are often sharp-edged and the repair material must be carefully selected and applied. Results on standard porcelain colours (whites, greys, concrete effects) are generally very good. Complex stone effects require more assessment.
Cost
Porcelain worktop chip repair typically costs £100–£250. We recommend sending photos for an honest assessment of feasibility before committing. We cover the South East and UK.
