DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Common questions in Malborough
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work in Malborough?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Malborough. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
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 will say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
