DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Worktop repair in Lower Falkenham, done in place
Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We regularly repair solid wood, laminate and quartz, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on edges and corners and snagging damage in a new kitchen.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Use a chopping board
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
