What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Keep joints and edges dry
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price

Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Foremark
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
