About our worktop repair in St Martins
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: 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. Typical jobs include a dent from a dropped pan and chips on edges and corners, in laminate, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
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.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SY11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Repair or replace in St Martins?
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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
