Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
