What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
How we handle worktop repair in Kencot
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. We regularly repair quartz, laminate and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners and damage from fitting or building work.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Clean spills right away
- Use a chopping board
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, 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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Other services in Kencot
Your questions about worktop repair in Kencot
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we will tell you what’s possible.
What affects the price in Kencot
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Kencot, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Do you need worktop repair in Kencot?
Edges and corners chip most often, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Chips near the sink

- Knife marks

- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
Repair or replace in Kencot?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
