DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Worktop repair in Combe St Nicholas, done in place
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Whether it’s chips caused during installation and scratches and knife marks, we can normally put it right, on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Combe St Nicholas as everywhere else we work.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Combe St Nicholas
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Use a chopping board
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Clean spills straight away
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

- 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
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Combe St Nicholas use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Your questions about worktop repair in Combe St Nicholas
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Combe St Nicholas?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, often. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Repair or replace: which is better?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
