Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Markbeech use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Water-swollen laminate
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Clean spills straight away
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
FAQs for Markbeech
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
