Worktop repair in Pennycross, done in place
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are damage around the sink cut-out and damage from fitting or building work.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Questions from Pennycross
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Pennycross.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Generally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Landlord and trade work in Pennycross
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
