Worktop Repair in Reading
Problem with your worktop in Reading? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on edges and corners

Worktop repair in Reading without replacing anything
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped quartz edge and dents and gouges, across solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.
Repairing versus replacing in Reading
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Reading, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Reading use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Reading
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean spills right away
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Keep wood oiled
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
