Worktop repair in Puncknowle, done in place
We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Typical jobs include chips near the sink and dents and gouges, on quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian).
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Puncknowle
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Your questions about worktop repair in Puncknowle
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Dents and gouges
- A damaged sink edge
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Puncknowle. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
