Other services in Ivy Chimneys
Can I fix it myself?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
FAQs for Ivy Chimneys
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Do you cover Ivy Chimneys?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ivy Chimneys from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How much does worktop repair cost in Ivy Chimneys?

Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Ivy Chimneys
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep wood oiled
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Keep joints and edges dry
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ivy Chimneys. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ivy Chimneys. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
