How we handle worktop repair in Stapleford Tawney
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We regularly repair quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are knife marks and chips near the sink.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use a chopping board
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Quartz
Stapleford Tawney: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?

What we are called out for in Stapleford Tawney

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A chipped quartz edge
- Scratches and knife marks
- A damaged sink edge
- A heat mark or burn
Before booking anyone
- Aftercare advice
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
