Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
  • Solid wood

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole worktop

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Use a chopping board
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, 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.
