Worktop repair at your home in Oliver's Battery
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate, and the jobs we see most are chips on edges and corners and damage to a stone worktop.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Clean spills immediately
- Keep a trivet by the hob
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.
What we’re called out for in Oliver's Battery
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Scratches and knife marks
- Burns from hot pans
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Chips caused during installation
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole worktop
If you are in Oliver's Battery and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
