Worktop repair in Murkle, done in place
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We are often asked to fix a chipped quartz edge and burns from hot pans, across solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

What affects the price in Murkle
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use a chopping board
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep wood oiled
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
FAQs for Murkle
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
