How we handle worktop repair in Sterte
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Whether it’s damage around the sink cut-out and gouges in the surface, we can normally put it right, on solid wood, laminate and quartz alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Water-swollen laminate
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
