Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we handle worktop repair in Arborfield Garrison
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: 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 solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches and knife marks and chipped corners.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Related advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Same prices wherever you are
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted

FAQs for Arborfield Garrison
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work in Arborfield Garrison?
We do. We send a technician to Arborfield Garrison for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Repairs by material
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Clean spills right away
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep joints and edges dry
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
