The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Should you replace it?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

FAQs for Woodgate
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you come to Woodgate?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Woodgate. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How much does worktop repair cost in Woodgate?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, 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.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A top that moves on its units
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Woodgate

Common problems we fix in Woodgate
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips near the sink
- A dent from a dropped pan
- A chipped edge
- Knife marks
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Woodgate. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
