Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Worktop repair in Waltham without replacing anything
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Our technicians work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and people most often call us about chipped corners and damage to a stone worktop.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Waltham and across Kent.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Waltham. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in Waltham and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
FAQs for Waltham
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Waltham included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Severe heat marks in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
