Worktop repair in Carmichael without replacing anything
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We work on solid wood, granite & marble and laminate, and people most often call us about cuts and scratches in the surface and damage from fitting or building work.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Carmichael questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work in Carmichael?
We do. We send a technician to Carmichael for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What affects the price in Carmichael
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- A top that moves on its units
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Keep wood oiled
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in 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. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
