How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a chopping board
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Clean spills immediately
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, 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.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We start by checking 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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
When to call us in Smallridge
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Damage around the sink cut-out

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repair or replace in Smallridge?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
