Worktop repair in Greenhill without replacing anything
Different worktops need different repairs: 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. Our technicians work on granite & marble, quartz and solid wood, and people most often call us about chipped corners and burns from hot pans.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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 pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What we are called out for in Greenhill
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Scorch marks from pans
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
Before booking anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep joints and edges dry
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CT6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
