Worktop repair in and around Stony Heap: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped edge
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Stony Heap get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How we handle worktop repair in Stony Heap
Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, matching the colour and pattern by hand. The worktop stays in place. Whether it’s chips in quartz or granite and damage from fitting or building work, we can help, on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When to call us in Stony Heap
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Scratches and knife marks
- A heat mark or burn
- Chips near the sink

Stony Heap: your questions answered
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Generally. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stony Heap use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Wipe up spills quickly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
