Worktop repair at your home in Todhills
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We work on granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are a chipped edge and burns from hot pans.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What we are called out for in Todhills
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Chipped corners
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Chips near the sink
- Cuts and scratches in the surface

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
Todhills: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
