Worktop repair in Gubbion's Green 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. We are often asked to fix chips near the sink and snagging damage in a new kitchen, in granite & marble, laminate and solid wood.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When to call us in Gubbion's Green
Edges and corners chip most frequently, often when something heavy catches the edge.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- A chipped edge
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Never put hot pans down directly
- 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.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What else we do in Gubbion's Green
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
If you are in Gubbion's Green and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Gubbion's Green questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are there extra charges for Gubbion's Green?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Gubbion's Green.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Landlord and trade work in Gubbion's Green
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
