How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded 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. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Marybank
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you cover Marybank?
We do. We send a technician to Marybank for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a chopping board
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
