About our worktop repair in Penn Hill
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for a heat mark or burn and scratches and knife marks, in solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and quartz.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Penn Hill
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Do you cover Penn Hill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Penn Hill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
