What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Worktop repair in Allensford, done in place
Different worktops need different repairs: 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. We regularly repair granite & marble, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about chips in quartz or granite and damage around the sink cut-out.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

FAQs for Allensford
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Allensford included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Common problems we fix in Allensford
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Dents and gouges
- Scorch marks from pans
- Chipped corners
- A chipped quartz edge
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a chopping board
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Repairs by material
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 typically cheaper.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole worktop
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
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.
