Worktop repair at your home in Ancrum
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s chips on edges and corners and damage from fitting or building work, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
