DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Worktop repair at your home in Great Dalby
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Typical jobs include scratches and knife marks and dents and gouges, on granite & marble, laminate and quartz.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- A top that moves on its units
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
When to call us in Great Dalby
Most chips are on edges and corners, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Chips near the sink
- Burns from hot pans
- Dents and gouges
Before you book anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean spills immediately
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Your questions about worktop repair in Great Dalby
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Great Dalby and the rest of Leicestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
