Worktop repair in Little Barrington without replacing anything

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. If you’re dealing with damage from fitting or building work and gouges in the surface, we can usually put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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 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.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Little Barrington. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Colour-matched on site

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Failed support under the worktop

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Quartz
  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate

Common problems we fix in Little Barrington

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A heat mark or burn

  • A damaged sink edge

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
