DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Worktop repair in Fenton, done in place
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. If you are dealing with damage around the sink cut-out and a chipped quartz edge, we can typically put it right, on quartz, granite & marble and solid wood alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

When to call us in Fenton
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.
These are the problems we are asked about most:

- Chips in quartz or granite
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Keep wood oiled
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Repair or replace in Fenton?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Fenton. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
