About our worktop repair in Molehill Green
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate, and the jobs we see most are cuts and scratches in the surface and chips near the sink.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Before we arrive

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
