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. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
Worktop repair in Jericho, done in place
Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, matching the colour and pattern by hand. The worktop stays in place. We’re often asked to fix a chipped edge and knife marks, on granite & marble, laminate and solid wood.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Jericho
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Jericho?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

- 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.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Keep wood oiled
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
