How we handle worktop repair in Somerby
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 regularly repair granite & marble, solid wood and laminate, and the jobs we see most are dents and gouges and chips caused during installation.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What else we do in Somerby
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Work done at your home or business

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
What we are called out for in Somerby
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chipped corners
- Scratches and knife marks
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Chips in quartz or granite

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
The process
When we visit, 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 let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
You do not 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Somerby. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Somerby questions
Are there extra charges for Somerby?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Typically, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
