What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Worktop repair in East Lockinge without replacing anything
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. Our technicians work on laminate, quartz and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are damage from fitting or building work and a chipped quartz edge.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble

East Lockinge questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we will tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes, frequently. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Do you come to East Lockinge?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to East Lockinge from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
