Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Worktop repair at your home in John's Cross
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and the jobs we see most are damage from fitting or building work and damage around the sink cut-out.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Re-oil timber worktops
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
John's Cross questions
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in John's Cross
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- 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.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
