Worktop repair in St John's, Surrey
We travel to St John's for chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A heat mark or burn
- A chipped quartz edge
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
About our worktop repair in St John's
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Typical jobs include damage from fitting or building work and cuts and scratches in the surface, on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in St John's and across Surrey.

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
