About our worktop repair in Fence Houses
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We’re frequently asked to fix a dent from a dropped pan and cuts and scratches in the surface, on quartz, solid wood and granite & marble.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business

- Any details about the material

What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
