Worktop repair in Upper Poppleton, done in place
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Common call-outs are for scratches and knife marks and a heat mark or burn, in granite & marble, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian).

Repairs by material
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
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. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Re-oil timber worktops
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often 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 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 won’t last.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Failed support under the worktop
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate

What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
