Worktop repair in Glenbrook, done in place
We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage in a new kitchen and chipped corners.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Clean spills straight away
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Do you need worktop repair in Glenbrook?
Edges and corners chip most frequently, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.
Look out for any of the following:
- Dents and gouges
- Damage from fitting or building work
- A damaged sink edge
- Scorch marks from pans
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Glenbrook: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Glenbrook. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Repairing versus replacing in Glenbrook
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
