About our worktop repair in New Houses
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. Whether it’s damage to a stone worktop and damage around the sink cut-out, we can typically put it right, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Houses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Quartz

What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Repairing versus replacing in New Houses
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Re-oil timber worktops
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
