About our worktop repair in Crapstone
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We are often asked to fix a heat mark or burn and a chipped edge, on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
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. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When to call us in Crapstone
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips frequently start there.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Knife marks
- Chips near the sink

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Questions from Crapstone
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
