  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A damaged sink edge

Our hiring checklist

Worktop repair in Sprat's Down, done in place

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. We work on laminate, granite & marble and quartz, and the jobs we see most are scratches and knife marks and a dent from a dropped pan.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Sprat's Down questions

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
