Worktop repair in Wivenhoe Quay, done in place

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Wivenhoe Quay and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Use a chopping board
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
Why book with us

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
If you manage property in Wivenhoe Quay, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Wivenhoe Quay: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Discolouration deep in quartz
