Worktop repair in Kelton without replacing anything
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Whether it’s damage to a stone worktop and scorch marks from pans, we can usually put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
Repair or replace: which is better?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in Kelton
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire worktop
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Kelton, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
FAQs for Kelton
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Dry around the sink and joints
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
