About our worktop repair in Stanpit

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We regularly repair solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are scratches and knife marks and a chipped quartz edge.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Stanpit

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • 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.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Stanpit. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

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

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have 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 tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
