How we handle worktop repair in Ely
We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our technicians work on laminate, granite & marble and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are chips in quartz or granite and snagging damage in a new kitchen.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ely use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Wipe up spills quickly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Common questions in Ely
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When to call us in Ely
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Knife marks
- Scorch marks from pans
- Chips caused during installation
- Gouges in the surface

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
