Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Wipe up spills quickly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Ford questions
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you come to Ford?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
How much does worktop repair cost in Ford?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SR4 postcode.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ford. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ford use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
