Worktop repair in Birmingham, done in place
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We regularly repair quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and the jobs we see most are knife marks and a heat mark or burn.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Birmingham
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Birmingham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A top that moves on its units
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Birmingham
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What affects the price in Birmingham
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Common questions in Birmingham
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Are there extra charges for Birmingham?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
Do you need worktop repair in Birmingham?
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Gouges in the surface
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- A heat mark or burn
- A damaged sink edge
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Wipe up spills quickly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
