Worktop repair in Bowden, done in place
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with snagging damage in a new kitchen and chips on edges and corners, we can help, on quartz, solid wood and granite & marble alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Clean spills immediately
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Getting ready for the visit

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair

Why repair rather than replace?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. 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.
