Worktop repair in Marks Gate without replacing anything
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We work on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about burns from hot pans and scratches and knife marks.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A top that moves on its units
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Marks Gate, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Keep wood oiled
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
