About our worktop repair in Woodhouse Green

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, with colour and pattern matched by hand. The worktop stays in place. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble, and common reasons people get in touch are damage to a stone worktop and chips near the sink.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Woodhouse Green. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz

  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Solid surface
