Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Do you need worktop repair in Little Walden?
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- A damaged sink edge
- Scratches and knife marks
- Damage from fitting or building work
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Dry around the sink and joints
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Water-swollen laminate
- Cracks right through stone that has moved

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
