Should you replace it?

Worktop repair in Brotherton, done in place
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We are often asked to fix gouges in the surface and damage around the sink cut-out, across laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we’re called out for in Brotherton
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Gouges in the surface
- Chips on edges and corners

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble

What affects the price in Brotherton
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire worktop
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Common questions in Brotherton
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Brotherton?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Landlord and trade work in Brotherton
If you manage property in Brotherton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Wipe up spills quickly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
