Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we handle worktop repair in Killerby
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Whether it’s a chipped edge and knife marks, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Use a chopping board
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
FAQs for Killerby
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
