Worktop repair at your home in Oldbury
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We work on quartz, granite & marble and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are a damaged sink edge and dents and gouges.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Your questions about worktop repair in Oldbury
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Never put hot pans down directly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: 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.
