Worktop repair at your home in Staplehay
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Common call-outs are for damage to a stone worktop and snagging damage in a new kitchen, in granite & marble, solid wood and quartz.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Staplehay questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
