Repair or replace in Stapleton?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Stapleton
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How much does worktop repair cost in Stapleton?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
