Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we handle worktop repair in Arkesden
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and common reasons people get in touch are burns from hot pans and a dent from a dropped pan.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Arkesden
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Clean spills straight away
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
