About our worktop repair in Rucklers Lane
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Whether it’s scratches and knife marks and chips caused during installation, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Severe heat marks in quartz
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Rucklers Lane. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use a chopping board
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
