Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
Repair or replace in Frating?

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Related advice
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Frating
If you manage property in Frating, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What affects the price in Frating
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
