What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Worktop repair at your home in Smyrton
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. We regularly repair laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are chips on edges and corners and damage to a stone worktop.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Smyrton. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you don’t 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.

What else we do in Smyrton
Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Signs you need worktop repair in Smyrton
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A heat mark or burn
- A damaged sink edge
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Scratches and knife marks
Before you book anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Smyrton: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are there extra charges for Smyrton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Clean spills straight away
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
