The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

About our worktop repair in Alkerton
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We are often asked to fix dents and gouges and scorch marks from pans, across solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Alkerton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Your questions about worktop repair in Alkerton
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Usually. Send us a photo and we will tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
