How we handle worktop repair in Ford
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and quartz, and the jobs we see most are a chipped edge and chips in quartz or granite.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Do not let water sit on joints
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in Ford
Most chips are on edges and corners, generally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Chips caused during installation
- Scratches and knife marks

Questions to ask before you book

- How long it needs to cure
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Ford
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole worktop
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ford
If you manage property in Ford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
