About our worktop repair in Blacksmith's Corner

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Whether it’s a heat mark or burn and cuts and scratches in the surface, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Laminate
  • Granite & marble
  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Keep wood oiled

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Blacksmith's Corner

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
