Worktop repair in Slaugham without replacing anything
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Whether it’s chipped corners and knife marks, we can help.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Through cracks in stone that is moving

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.
Questions from Slaugham
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across West Sussex.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price

Repairing versus replacing in Slaugham
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
