How we handle worktop repair in Grimbister
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. If you are dealing with a dent from a dropped pan and chips caused during installation, we can usually put it right, on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

When to call us in Grimbister
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips near the sink
- Scratches and knife marks
- A heat mark or burn
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Keep joints and edges dry
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Grimbister
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
