Worktop repair at your home in Ludworth
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We’re often asked to fix burns from hot pans and damage around the sink cut-out, across solid wood, quartz and granite & marble.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ludworth. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a chopping board
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Never put hot pans down directly
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
