Worktop repair in Abbey Gate without replacing anything
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, laminate and granite & marble, and common reasons people get in touch are damage around the sink cut-out and chips in quartz or granite.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What affects the price in Abbey Gate
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Repairing versus replacing in Abbey Gate
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
