Should you replace it?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Terras questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Terras
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz

- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare

- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
Repairs by material
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Clean spills right away
- Keep wood oiled
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
