About our worktop repair in Carlinghow
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are chipped corners and knife marks.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What else we do in Carlinghow
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Clean spills immediately
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your WF17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Carlinghow: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
