Worktop repair at your home in Bocking
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. If you are dealing with chipped corners and a heat mark or burn, we can generally put it right, on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Bocking
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bocking as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Signs you need worktop repair in Bocking
Most chips are on edges and corners, often when something heavy catches the edge.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chipped edge
- A damaged sink edge
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Scratches and knife marks
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
