Worktop repair at your home in Harlton
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We are frequently asked to fix chips caused during installation and a dent from a dropped pan, on quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Dry around the sink and joints
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s 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.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Harlton
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Dents and gouges
- A chipped quartz edge
- A damaged sink edge
- Scorch marks from pans
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CB23 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Failed support under the worktop
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Severe heat marks in quartz
