Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Failed support under the worktop
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble

Questions from Downside
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Downside?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Re-oil timber worktops
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
