DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Questions from Talbot Woods
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Talbot Woods. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
