Worktop repair in Great Burstead without replacing anything
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. We are often asked to fix a damaged sink edge and chips caused during installation, across solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Great Burstead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep wood oiled
- Never put hot pans down directly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood

Common questions in Great Burstead
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens after I send photos?

Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.
