Worktop repair in Drumsturdy, done in place
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people contact us are a heat mark or burn and damage from fitting or building work.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Drumsturdy questions
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DD5 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Repair or replace in Drumsturdy?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, 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 cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use a chopping board
- Keep wood oiled
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A top that moves on its units
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Drumsturdy

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
