Worktop repair at your home in Tisman's Common
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are dents and gouges and damage from fitting or building work.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Tisman's Common. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price.

Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Laminate
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Clean spills straight away
- Keep wood oiled
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Tisman's Common: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Repairing versus replacing in Tisman's Common
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Signs you need worktop repair in Tisman's Common
