Worktop repair in Gretton without replacing anything
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our technicians work on quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are cuts and scratches in the surface and chipped corners.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace in Gretton?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
