Worktop repair in Read without replacing anything
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. Our repair technicians work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and the jobs we see most are a dent from a dropped pan and chips near the sink.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
For a price in Read, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Should you replace it?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Read. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Clean spills immediately
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often 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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Read use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
