Worktop repair in Wansford without replacing anything
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We work on solid wood, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new kitchen and chips on edges and corners.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep wood oiled
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep joints and edges dry
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wansford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Wansford get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
