Worktop repair in Astley, done in place
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are chips in quartz or granite and scorch marks from pans.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price

Advice
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your M29 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Water-swollen laminate
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Astley
Landlord and trade work in Astley
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Wipe up spills quickly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Common questions in Astley
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
