Whether it’s damage from fitting or building work and damage to a stone worktop, we can help, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about worktop repair in Edney Common
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What else we do in Edney Common
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Edney Common. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Edney Common
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Edney Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A top that moves on its units
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
