About our worktop repair in Alt
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for chips on edges and corners and scorch marks from pans, on granite & marble, quartz and solid wood.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about worktop repair in Alt
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, often. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Alt. Prices do not change with location.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
More services for Alt
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alt use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by checking 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.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What we’re called out for in Alt

Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
