About our worktop repair in Bassett Green
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. We’re often asked to fix knife marks and dents and gouges, on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Questions from Bassett Green
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bassett Green. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What affects the price in Bassett Green
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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 give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. 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.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A top that moves on its units
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
