Worktop repair in Chipping Ongar without replacing anything
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We are often asked to fix a dent from a dropped pan and knife marks, across laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.
In a smaller place like Chipping Ongar, the kitchen is the heart of the home, and burns and chips build up. We repair them in place.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Failed support under the worktop
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
