Worktop repair at your home in Germiston
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Whether it’s dents and gouges and knife marks, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Germiston
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
When to call us in Germiston
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks often begin.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Chipped corners
- Dents and gouges
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Chips near the sink
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Germiston
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Use a chopping board
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Wipe up spills quickly
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
