Advice
How we handle worktop repair in Great Strickland
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. We regularly repair quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about damage around the sink cut-out and snagging damage in a new kitchen.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When a repair is not the answer

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Wipe up spills quickly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit

Great Strickland: your questions answered
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Great Strickland included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
