Worktop repair at your home in Washington
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. We work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are a damaged sink edge and dents and gouges.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What else we do in Washington
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep wood oiled
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate that has blown or swollen

What we do, step by step

- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Washington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Washington
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
