Worktop repair in Instow, 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. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We regularly repair solid wood, quartz and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are dents and gouges and chips on edges and corners.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Instow
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you come to Instow?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Instow for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Generally. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Instow
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Use a chopping board
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage

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.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid wood
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
