How we handle worktop repair in Poughill
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. Our technicians work on granite & marble, quartz and solid wood, and people most often call us about dents and gouges and burns from hot pans.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Failed support under the worktop

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Poughill
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Dents and gouges
- Chipped corners
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Knife marks
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to care for the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Poughill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
