Worktop repair in Cat Hill, done in place
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped edge and snagging damage in a new kitchen.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cat Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Cat Hill questions
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Cat Hill?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you match granite flecks?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
