Signs you need worktop repair in Duke Street
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Dents and gouges
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Worktop repair in Duke Street without replacing anything
We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Our technicians work on laminate, quartz and granite & marble, and people most often call us about chips caused during installation and gouges in the surface.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What affects the price in Duke Street
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
