How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.

Other services in Greycrook
Landlords, agents and businesses in Greycrook
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Greycrook: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How much does worktop repair cost in Greycrook?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
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.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
