Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.

Rivenhall questions
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Normally. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.
Do you cover Rivenhall?
We do. We send a technician to Rivenhall for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Common problems we fix in Rivenhall
Edges and corners chip most frequently, normally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Chips near the sink
- Chipped corners
- Knife marks
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
