How we handle worktop repair in Crown
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Typical jobs include a heat mark or burn and chips near the sink, in granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Crown questions
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Crown. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep wood oiled
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
When to call us in Crown
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A chipped edge
- Chips near the sink
- A heat mark or burn
- A dent from a dropped pan
Comparing quotes
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crown use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
About our accreditations · Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.
