Gemini Worktops' guarantees are supported by four generations of stone expertise and an established national business with more than 100,000 installations behind it. Every Minerox® and Stonelore® worktop we make and fit is covered as standard.
Your warranty comes from us directly, the people who chose the stone, cut it and fitted it.
Every Minerox® and Stonelore® worktop comes with two warranties as standard. The 25-year material warranty covers the stone itself. The 5-year installation guarantee covers how we cut, finish, join and fix it in your kitchen.
Cover begins on the day our installer confirms your worktop is fitted, once your order is paid in full. There is nothing to register and no forms to return. The level of cover stays the same for all 25 years, rather than reducing over time, and where we replace a section we will also replace adjoining sections if a reasonable match can't be achieved.
Nothing to register
Cover starts automatically from your installation date.
No middlemen
Claims come straight to us, never passed to a third-party supplier.
Moves with your home
Both warranties transfer to the next owner for the time remaining.
Keep your invoice
It's your proof of purchase. We need it, or other proof, to accept a claim.
Care & warranty guides
Choose your range
Each range has its own care and warranty guide. The care guidelines form part of your warranty, so keep the guide with your invoice.
Minerox®
A Gemini Exclusive
Our own premium quartz, with real stone translucency and full-body veining, made from Grade-A raw quartz. SGS tested, NSF food-safe and Greenguard Gold certified. Never needs sealing.
Our proprietary range, exclusive to Gemini Worktops. IngrainHD™ carries the pattern into the body of the slab for sharp detail, non-yellowing whites and lasting colour. SGS tested, NSF food-safe and Greenguard Gold certified. Stories told in stone.
Quartz is low maintenance and never needs sealing. A few simple habits keep it looking its best, and they form part of your warranty.
Every day
A damp cloth and a little worksurface cleaner. Rinse, dry, and buff with a white microfibre cloth.
Spills
Wipe up tea, coffee, wine, oils and sauces straight away. Fresh spills lift far more easily than dried ones.
Stubborn marks
Bar Keepers Friend cream cleaner with a non-abrasive white sponge. Never scouring pads or multi-surface polish.
Heat
Quartz is heat resistant, not heat proof. Always use a trivet under hot pans.
Heavy and sharp
Always use a chopping board, and don't stand, sit or place very heavy items on the worktop.
Chemicals
Avoid stripping agents, grease removers, caustic soda and anything above pH 10.
A complimentary care kit is provided at installation. Care kits aren't available to order, so for ongoing cleaning we recommend Bar Keepers Friend cream cleaner. The full guidelines are in your range's care and warranty guide.
How to claim

Natural characteristics, not defects
+−
Dark spots. Small clusters of darker spots are inherent to engineered stone and within industry tolerances.
Light. All worktops refract light, so some areas can look duller or shadowed in certain lighting.
Mirror chips. Where cutting dislodges a mirror chip, we fill the spot with resin so the surface is even and smooth.
Transferring your warranty
+−
If you sell your home, both warranties pass to the new owner for the time remaining. They'll need reasonable evidence that they own the property, and a letter (or chain of letters) from previous owners passing on the benefit. We'll happily supply a specimen letter.
Our warranties are in addition to your statutory rights, and don't replace them.
