DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use a chopping board
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble

Stockbridge questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
