Worktop repair in Markeaton, done in place
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are scorch marks from pans and chips on edges and corners.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Markeaton
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Markeaton. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use a chopping board
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Wipe up spills quickly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Markeaton questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Water-swollen laminate
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Quartz

Should you replace it?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
