What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Failed support under the worktop
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Laminate
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bowridge Hill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Signs you need worktop repair in Bowridge Hill

- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- A damaged sink edge
- A chipped edge
- Damage to a stone worktop
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- If travel is included in the price
- When it can be used again

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
