Worktop repair at your home in Stratford St Andrew
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We regularly repair quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new kitchen and scorch marks from pans.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Your questions about worktop repair in Stratford St Andrew
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.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Advice
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Stratford St Andrew. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
