What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Worktop repair at your home in Houghton
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We are often asked to fix chipped corners and chips near the sink, on laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian).
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Houghton
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
How much does worktop repair cost in Houghton?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Typically. A picture lets us check what’s possible.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you need worktop repair in Houghton?
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage to a stone worktop
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Scorch marks from pans
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
