Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairs by material
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- 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
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Caversham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
