FAQs for Marston
Are there extra charges for Marston?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Normally. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
About our worktop repair in Marston
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Typical jobs include a chipped edge and damage around the sink cut-out, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Marston
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Marston
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marston as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
