Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with a damaged sink edge and damage from fitting or building work, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- A top that moves on its units
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CO7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep wood oiled
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Wivenhoe: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Do you repair quartz?
