About our worktop repair in Black Torrington
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Typical jobs include damage around the sink cut-out and a chipped quartz edge, in quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. 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’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price

When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Never put hot pans down directly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Black Torrington questions
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Are there extra charges for Black Torrington?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Black Torrington?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
