Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Worktop repair in Potto without replacing anything

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new kitchen and chips on edges and corners, across laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common problems we fix in Potto

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Knife marks
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Chips near the sink
  • Chipped corners

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble
  • Quartz
  • Solid wood

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Your questions about worktop repair in Potto

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
