How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
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.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What affects the price in Margaret Roding
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Common questions in Margaret Roding
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Margaret Roding?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
