Worktop repair in The Raikes, done in place
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We work on laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are damage to a stone worktop and a chipped edge.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Never put hot pans down directly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Common problems we fix in The Raikes
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Dents and gouges
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Scratches and knife marks
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
