Related advice
Worktop repair in Chesser, done in place
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped corners and chips near the sink.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace in Chesser?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Chesser
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
