How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
Worktop repair in Carr Houses, done in place
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz, and the jobs we see most are scratches and knife marks and dents and gouges.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Re-oil timber worktops
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know

Your questions about worktop repair in Carr Houses
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What areas do you cover?
All of Sefton, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
