Worktop repair in Founthill without replacing anything
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and people most frequently call us about scratches and knife marks and a chipped edge.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What else we do in Founthill
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Founthill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Founthill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Questions from Founthill
How much does worktop repair cost in Founthill?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
How soon can you come?
