About our worktop repair in Rickleton
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include damage to a stone worktop and a heat mark or burn, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep wood oiled
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Should you replace it?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Rickleton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
