About our worktop repair in Charltons
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We regularly repair solid wood, granite & marble and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped quartz edge and scorch marks from pans.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What affects the price in Charltons
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Charltons
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

FAQs for Charltons
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Typically. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
