Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
If you are in Southernden and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Quartz
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Southernden. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
