Worktop repair in East Mersea, done in place
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We regularly repair granite & marble, laminate and solid wood, and people most often call us about chipped corners and damage around the sink cut-out.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep wood oiled
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep joints and edges dry
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
When to call us in East Mersea
The worst damage often happens in a moment: 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.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Chipped corners
- Burns from hot pans
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
