About our worktop repair in Kelsale
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Our repair technicians work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are scorch marks from pans and chips in quartz or granite.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Signs you need worktop repair in Kelsale

When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A top that moves on its units
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.

What else we do in Kelsale
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Re-oil timber worktops
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
