Worktop repair in Old Basing without replacing anything
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We work on laminate, granite & marble and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are a dent from a dropped pan and snagging damage in a new kitchen.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. 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.

Repairs by material
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Old Basing. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
