About our worktop repair in St Helen's
Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We’re often asked to fix snagging damage in a new kitchen and a chipped edge, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
What affects the price in St Helen's
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area

Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Most clients in St Helen's get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
