Worktop repair at your home in Kennington
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We’re often asked to fix damage to a stone worktop and knife marks, on solid wood, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep joints and edges dry
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Do you need worktop repair in Kennington?
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A heat mark or burn
- Chips caused during installation
- Chipped corners
- A chipped quartz edge
What to look for in a quote

- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos 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.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
