Worktop repair at your home in Strelley
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We regularly repair quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about scratches and knife marks and chips caused during installation.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A top that moves on its units
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

FAQs for Strelley
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Do you come to Strelley?
We do. Technicians travel to Strelley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
What affects the price in Strelley
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
