About our worktop repair in Machen
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Common call-outs are for chips on edges and corners and dents and gouges, on granite & marble, laminate and solid wood.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Machen questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Typically. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
If you’re in Machen and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Machen. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Machen
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
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
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
