The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves 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 we leave the room as we found it.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Common questions in Ayot Green
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover Ayot Green?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ayot Green for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Repairing versus replacing in Ayot Green
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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What your worktop is made of matters

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep wood oiled
- Do not let water sit on joints
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlord and trade work in Ayot Green
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ayot Green as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
