Common questions in Stirches
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Stirches?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
What do you need from me?

Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Worktop repair in Stirches without replacing anything
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Typical jobs include knife marks and snagging damage in a new kitchen, across solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- A top that moves on its units
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stirches. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Stirches, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Common problems we fix in Stirches
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips often start there.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Chips near the sink
- Chipped corners
- Scorch marks from pans
- Damage to a stone worktop

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Stirches. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
