Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Landlord and trade work in Downs
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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Questions from Downs
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Failed support under the worktop
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
