Worktop repair at your home in Itton
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Our technicians work on solid wood, granite & marble and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are chips near the sink and damage to a stone worktop.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Itton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Itton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job without visiting.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Failed support under the worktop
- Water-swollen laminate
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz

Itton: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we will tell you what’s possible.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Itton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
