About our worktop repair in Bearton
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. Typical jobs include scratches and knife marks and a dent from a dropped pan, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

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 normally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Common problems we fix in Bearton
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- A chipped edge
- A chipped quartz edge
- Cuts and scratches in the surface

Repair or replace: which is better?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare

Bearton questions
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Bearton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
