- Repairs from £95
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
About our worktop repair in Charleston
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We work on laminate, quartz and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are damage from fitting or building work and chips on edges and corners.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, 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 the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Charleston

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

- A damaged sink edge
- Chips on edges and corners
- Scratches and knife marks

Charleston: your questions answered
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, often. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Typically. A photo lets us check.
Repairing versus replacing in Charleston
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. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DD2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
