Worktop repair at your home in Fernwood
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble, and people most often call us about damage around the sink cut-out and scratches and knife marks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Fernwood
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How much does worktop repair cost in Fernwood?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A top that moves on its units

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Wipe up spills quickly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
