DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Trench Green

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What areas do you cover?

All of Reading, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Are there extra charges for Trench Green?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

We price from pictures 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.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
