Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Severe heat marks in quartz

Repairing versus replacing in Woodham Walter
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When to call us in Woodham Walter
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that’s where cracks often begin.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Chipped corners
- Scorch marks from pans
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
