About our worktop repair in Compton Martin
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We work on granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about chips on edges and corners and burns from hot pans.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Compton Martin
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. A picture lets us check.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you come to Compton Martin?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Compton Martin from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Keep wood oiled
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Signs you need worktop repair in Compton Martin
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Chips caused during installation
- Dents and gouges
- Chipped corners
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Compton Martin. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Compton Martin. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
