How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How we handle worktop repair in Claygate
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. We repair them all in your kitchen. Our repair technicians work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about chips in quartz or granite and damage around the sink cut-out.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

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 photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
