DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Your questions about worktop repair in Calton Lees
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work in Calton Lees?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Calton Lees for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Never put hot pans down directly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Solid wood
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise 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.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
