What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can

Advice
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Forest Hill. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Do not let water sit on joints
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
