Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What else we do in Stondon Massey
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
FAQs for Stondon Massey
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes, often. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs 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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
If you’re in Stondon Massey and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Dry around the sink and joints
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
