Worktop repair in Charlton, done in place
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Common call-outs are for chips on edges and corners and a damaged sink edge, on granite & marble, quartz and solid wood.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

Should you replace it?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, 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.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Your questions about worktop repair in Charlton
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Charlton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Charlton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charlton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Charlton
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Gouges in the surface

The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
