Worktop repair at your home in Tower Wood
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include chips on edges and corners and snagging damage in a new kitchen, in quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common questions in Tower Wood
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Do you cover Tower Wood?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tower Wood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole worktop
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Tower Wood
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Look out for any of the following:
- A chipped edge
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips caused during installation
- Gouges in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to care for the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Repair or replace in Tower Wood?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Do not let water sit on joints
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
