Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
About our worktop repair in Canonbie
We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Our repair technicians work on quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about damage from fitting or building work and chips in quartz or granite.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep wood oiled
- Use a chopping board
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What affects the price in Canonbie
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
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.

FAQs for Canonbie
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Canonbie?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
