For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Dry around the sink and joints
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One price list for the whole UK
- Colour-matched on site

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
