Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A chipped quartz edge
- Chips caused during installation
- Scorch marks from pans
- Damage around the sink cut-out

Tidmarsh: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep wood oiled
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Clean spills immediately
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tidmarsh
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tidmarsh. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
