Worktop repair in South Harting without replacing anything
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We work on solid wood, quartz and laminate, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage in a new kitchen and knife marks.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid wood
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

South Harting questions

Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

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

Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Common problems we fix in South Harting
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Knife marks
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- A chipped quartz edge
- Damage around the sink cut-out
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Wipe up spills quickly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
