The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair several things at once?

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Common problems we fix in Littlestead Green

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips near the sink
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Dents and gouges
  • Knife marks

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Re-oil timber worktops

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. An early repair prevents it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Littlestead Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our pricing.

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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
