Worktop repair at your home in Reading
Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, with colour and pattern matched by hand. Nothing is taken out. We are frequently asked to fix chips caused during installation and a heat mark or burn, across granite & marble, solid wood and quartz.
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
How the damage happens
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage from fitting or building work
- A chipped edge
- A heat mark or burn
- Damage to a stone worktop
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Reading: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Reading. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Do you come to Reading?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Reading from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
