Worktop repair in Chalbury Common, done in place
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. If you’re dealing with scratches and knife marks and a chipped quartz edge, we can generally put it right.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep joints and edges dry
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
