FAQs for Ashcott
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will you leave 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 photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Worktop repair in Ashcott without replacing anything
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Our technicians work on quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused during installation and dents and gouges.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
What we’re called out for in Ashcott
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A chipped edge
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Scratches and knife marks
- Damage to a stone worktop
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ashcott. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ashcott. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A top that moves on its units
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
