Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lane End, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
How we price worktop repair

Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
