- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Failed support under the worktop
- Water-swollen laminate
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Can I fix it myself?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Common questions in Calthorpe
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you work in Calthorpe?
We do. We send a technician to Calthorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
When to call us in Calthorpe
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Damage to a stone worktop
- A chipped edge
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Use a chopping board
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep wood oiled
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Repair or replace in Calthorpe?

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
