Worktop repair at your home in Santon Downham
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We work on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are dents and gouges and a chipped quartz edge.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Santon Downham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Santon Downham
Are there extra charges for Santon Downham?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
