- Repairs from £95
- A dent from a dropped pan

How we handle worktop repair in Grays
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for chips on edges and corners and gouges in the surface, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Signs you need worktop repair in Grays
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Chipped corners
- Burns from hot pans
- Cuts and scratches in the surface

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
