Repairing versus replacing in Drayton
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Dry around the sink and joints
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Your questions about worktop repair in Drayton
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Normally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
