Worktop repair in Maer without replacing anything
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Typical jobs include burns from hot pans and chips near the sink, across solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep joints and edges dry
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Maer, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
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.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Your questions about worktop repair in Maer
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Normally. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover Maer?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Maer. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What affects the price in Maer

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
