Worktop repair in Wapley, done in place
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair quartz, granite & marble and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are burns from hot pans and chips caused during installation.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Wapley: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
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?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Do you come to Wapley?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Wapley. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
We price from photos 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.
Advice
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 before booking.
Materials we work on in Wapley
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
When to call us in Wapley
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Dents and gouges
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Damage around the sink cut-out

Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
