Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- 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.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

FAQs for Little Carlton
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Are there extra charges for Little Carlton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Little Carlton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Little Carlton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Clean spills straight away
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
