Worktop repair in How Green, done in place
Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. If you’re dealing with snagging damage in a new kitchen and gouges in the surface, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for How Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Everywhere in the UK, How Green included. Travel is included in the price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Landlord and trade work in How Green
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in How Green use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What affects the price in How Green
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
For a price in How Green, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
