About our worktop repair in Great Stretton
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Typical jobs include damage to a stone worktop and cuts and scratches in the surface, in quartz, granite & marble and laminate.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
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 no obligation.
When to call us in Great Stretton
Most chips are on edges and corners, often when something heavy catches the edge.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A heat mark or burn
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Dents and gouges
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
Great Stretton questions
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you cover the entire of Leicester?
Everywhere in the UK, Great Stretton included. Travel is included in the price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A top that moves on its units
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
