Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs

Worktop repair in Torthorwald, done in place
Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We are frequently asked to fix dents and gouges and a chipped quartz edge, in quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Torthorwald: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. A picture lets us check.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Torthorwald, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
