About our worktop repair in Lavister
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our technicians work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are dents and gouges and scratches and knife marks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Lavister
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What else we do in Lavister
Lavister questions
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you work in Lavister?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lavister for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Never put hot pans down directly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
