Worktop repair at your home in Arpinge
We repair worktops in place. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz, and common reasons people contact us are damage from fitting or building work and a chipped edge.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
What we are called out for in Arpinge

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
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.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Arpinge, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Arpinge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No need to remove anything
