Advice
How we handle worktop repair in Ashley
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about gouges in the surface and damage to a stone worktop.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Keep wood oiled
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. 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.
Your questions about worktop repair in Ashley
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 photos.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ashley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
