What happens on the day

- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How we handle worktop repair in Athelney
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix dents and gouges and chipped corners, across laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Athelney and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean spills right away
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Repairing versus replacing in Athelney
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. 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’ll get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
