DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Brigham: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover Brigham?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Brigham and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
- Water-swollen laminate
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
Should you replace it?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Clean spills right away
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
