Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use a chopping board
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

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 matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Your questions about worktop repair in Watt's Cross
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
