About our worktop repair in Avening
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. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for scratches and knife marks and gouges in the surface, in laminate, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should you replace it?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often 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 is no premium for Avening. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from Avening
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Typically, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Avening is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole worktop
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What else we do in Avening
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Failed support under the worktop
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Use a chopping board
- Do not let water sit on joints
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
