Worktop Repair for Spencers Wood homes
We travel to Spencers Wood for chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped edge
- Scorch marks from pans
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Keep wood oiled
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Worktop repair at your home in Spencers Wood
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. Our repair technicians work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are damage from fitting or building work and burns from hot pans.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Repairs by material
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Questions from Spencers Wood
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
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 repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
