Worktop repair in Highstead, done in place
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 a dent from a dropped pan and damage to a stone worktop, on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a chopping board
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
