DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What your worktop is made of matters

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. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Middleton St George

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not 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.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Middleton St George. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in Middleton St George get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DL2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
