About our worktop repair in Rock
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We’re frequently asked to fix chips in quartz or granite and damage around the sink cut-out, across solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rock as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
