Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Northern Quarter: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your M4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Northern Quarter?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
