Worktop repair in Barbon without replacing anything
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We are frequently asked to fix a damaged sink edge and damage to a stone worktop, across granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What affects the price in Barbon
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job without visiting.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
