How we handle worktop repair in Millness
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair quartz, laminate and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are damage around the sink cut-out and scorch marks from pans.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Millness as everywhere else we work.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Clean spills right away
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
