How we handle worktop repair in Smallthorne
Different worktops need different repairs: 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. We regularly repair laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged sink edge and snagging damage in a new kitchen.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep wood oiled
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Smallthorne questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
