Worktop repair in Dendron without replacing anything
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: 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. Our repair technicians work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are a dent from a dropped pan and chipped corners.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Use a chopping board
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not let water sit on joints
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Chips on edges and corners
- Scorch marks from pans
- Damage around the sink cut-out

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
