Earley: your questions answered
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How much does worktop repair cost in Earley?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you come to Earley?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Earley. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Keep wood oiled
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
When to call us in Earley
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- A chipped edge
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Knife marks

Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wokingham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
