Worktop repair in Germiston, done in place
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new kitchen and chips in quartz or granite.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Germiston as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common questions in Germiston
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
All of the Orkney Islands, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Keep wood oiled
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What affects the price in Germiston
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Quartz
