Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Landlord and trade work in Crayford
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Water-swollen laminate
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
