Worktop repair in Black Crofts without replacing anything

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. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for a chipped quartz edge and knife marks, on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Use a chopping board
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
