How we handle worktop repair in Magdalen Laver
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for a chipped quartz edge and snagging damage in a new kitchen, in solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Magdalen Laver
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Wipe up spills quickly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What we’re called out for in Magdalen Laver

The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Scorch marks from pans
- A dent from a dropped pan

Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again

Should you replace it?
