What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Failed support under the worktop
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Water-swollen laminate
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep wood oiled
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.

What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
