Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit

- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Abberton questions
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
