Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Keep wood oiled
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Worktop repair in Taunton without replacing anything
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Typical jobs include chips on edges and corners and a chipped quartz edge, across quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

What else we do in Taunton
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Taunton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Landlord and trade work in Taunton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Taunton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
