For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cardrona use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How we handle worktop repair in Cardrona
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Common call-outs are for a chipped quartz edge and knife marks, across granite & marble, quartz and laminate.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Clean spills straight away
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Keep joints and edges dry
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Your questions about worktop repair in Cardrona
How much does worktop repair cost in Cardrona?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you come to Cardrona?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cardrona from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repair or replace in Cardrona?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
