Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Clean spills right away
- Dry around the sink and joints
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Stratton St Margaret. The price reflects:

Common problems we fix in Stratton St Margaret
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A heat mark or burn
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Knife marks
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Common questions in Stratton St Margaret
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
