Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Use a chopping board
  • Do not leave spills to soak in

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Your questions about worktop repair in Matching Green

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Matching Green get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
