When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What else we do in Metcombe
Metcombe questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How much does worktop repair cost in Metcombe?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire worktop
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Signs you need worktop repair in Metcombe
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that’s where cracks frequently begin.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A chipped edge
- A damaged sink edge
- Burns from hot pans
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Clean spills straight away
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
