How we handle worktop repair in Blackness
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. If you are dealing with a heat mark or burn and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can help, on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Questions from Blackness
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally 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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should you replace it?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Blackness. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A top that moves on its units
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
