Chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops in Horseheath, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Gouges in the surface
- Damage around the sink cut-out
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
Worktop repair in Horseheath, done in place
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We work on granite & marble, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about knife marks and chipped corners.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Why repair rather than replace?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What affects the price in Horseheath
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
