Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep wood oiled
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Repair or replace in Alton?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Alton. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

- A chipped edge
- Damage from fitting or building work
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price

- Whether they match the colour on site
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Failed support under the worktop
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
