Worktop repair in Hunters Forstal, done in place
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 solid wood, quartz and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are chips near the sink and burns from hot pans.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Quartz
Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Repairing versus replacing in Hunters Forstal
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
