Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Common problems we fix in Ruardean Hill
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused during installation
- A chipped edge
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
