- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

What else we do in Greensted
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Greensted questions
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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 pictures, as it can add time.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Severe heat marks in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
