How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Quartz

South Down questions

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

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 match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Do you work in South Down?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to South Down. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Repairing versus replacing in South Down

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
