DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about worktop repair in Deritend

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What we are called out for in Deritend

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A damaged sink edge

Our hiring checklist

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most customers in Deritend get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

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

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate
  • Solid wood
  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
