Repairs by material
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 tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we are called out for in Howe Bridge
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips caused during installation
- Chips on edges and corners
- Gouges in the surface
- Chips in quartz or granite
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A fixed quote before you book
