About our worktop repair in Stocking

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. If you’re dealing with damage to a stone worktop and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can help.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Stocking and across Herefordshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Repair or replace in Stocking?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Stocking

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stocking. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stocking. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
