Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We work on granite & marble, laminate and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about gouges in the surface and a chipped edge.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Clean spills straight away
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Howlett End questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you work in Howlett End?
We do. We send a technician to Howlett End for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
