How we handle worktop repair in Tong
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 solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are cuts and scratches in the surface and a damaged sink edge.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in Tong
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that’s where cracks often begin.

- A heat mark or burn
- Dents and gouges
- Chips on edges and corners
- Damage around the sink cut-out
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
