Worktop repair in Walmley, done in place
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We’re often asked to fix a dent from a dropped pan and snagging damage in a new kitchen, in solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What else we do in Walmley
Landlords, agents and businesses in Walmley
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Walmley: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A top that moves on its units
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Walmley
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips caused during installation
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Chips near the sink
- Burns from hot pans
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

- What preparation is included
- If travel is included in the price
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
