Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Keep wood oiled
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Starkholmes: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you come to Starkholmes?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Starkholmes from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How much does worktop repair cost in Starkholmes?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
