Worktop Repair in Mortimer
Worktop repair for Mortimer, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- Gouges in the surface
- A chipped edge
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a chopping board
- Keep wood oiled
- Clean spills immediately
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
How we handle worktop repair in Mortimer
We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about scorch marks from pans and chips caused during installation.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should you replace it?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Your questions about worktop repair in Mortimer
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What we’re called out for in Mortimer

- Knife marks
- Burns from hot pans
What to look for in a quote

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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.
Landlord and trade work in Mortimer
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
