Worktop repair for Marley homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Granite & marble

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we are called out for in Marley

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Gouges in the surface
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Most customers in Marley get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use a chopping board

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
